Summary
Objectives of this project are to examine historic and current spatial patterns and occurrence of native and non-native fishes relative to thermal regimes in the White River from about Meeker, Colorado to the confluence with the Green River in Utah; to model thermal resources in the White River and its tributaries to gain understanding of preferred thermal requirements for fish species; to determine zones of overlap for native and non-native fishes; and to provide land managers with information that will help protect fish communities in the White River.
