This grant is for the conservation of endangered native fish, bonytail and razorback sucker, in the Colorado River, where predation is a primary threat. This five-year agreement will develop strategies to mitigate predation impacts. A key objective is conditioning these fish to recognize and avoid predators post-stocking, aiming to improve their survival rates. Additionally, the project will investigate the use of artificial habitats as a means for these fish to evade predators. Experiments will be conducted at the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Aquatic Research and Conservation Center in Cornville, AZ, providing crucial insights to help recover these vulnerable species.

| Description: | Proposed actions of this agreement will work toward the conservation of endangered native fish of the Colorado River. One of the greatest challenges to the conservation of bonytail and razorback sucker is predation. The work involved with this five year agreement will seek to condition these fish to potentially recognize and avoid predators after stocking. The work in this agreement will also investigate possible artificial habitat use by these fish as a means to avoid predation. These experiments will be performed at Arizona Game and Fish Department’s facility, the Aquatic Research and Conservation Center (Cornville, AZ). |
