The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity for a CESU-affiliated partner to conduct crucial research. This grant is for understanding how various thermal and flow regimes influence the population dynamics of warmwater fish species. The focus includes native fish in the Mississippi basin and non-native invaders like walleye, smallmouth bass, and green sunfish in the Colorado River basin. Key objectives involve developing robust population models that respond to changing hydrology and water temperature. These models will then be utilized to forecast how different reservoir operations, and their resulting hydrological and thermal conditions, could either facilitate or prevent the invasion of these species into new river segments within the Colorado River basin, informing critical management strategies.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in understanding how different thermal and flow regimes affect population dynamics of warmwater fishes that are native to Mississippi basin and non-native invaders in the Colorado River basin including walleye, smallmouth bass and green sunfish. The objectives of the project are to 1) develop population models for these species that respond to changing hydrology and water temperature, and 2) use these models to forecast how different reservoir operations (and resulting hydrology and thermal regimes) may facilitate or stop their invasion into new river segments in the Colorado River basin. |
