Summary

These data were compiled to examine rates of skipped migration in adult humpback chub that spawn in the Little Colorado River (LCR). These data include mark-recapture information from the lower 13.56 kilometers of the LCR and from the Colorado River, from river kilometer 105.5-145.7 downstream of Glen Canyon Dam. Data also include detections from a multiplexer array (MUX) that is located in the LCR and from submersible PIT tag antennas that are deployed in parts of the Colorado River. These data are capture histories that include both spring and fall sampling events that occurred between spring 2009 and spring 2019. Capture histories can include information about size (small adults being 200-249mm total length and large adult being [...]

Purpose

Humpback chub migration from the main stem Colorado River into the LCR occurs each spring and is likely associated with spawning. This data set was used to fit a model that describes how survival, growth, and movement rates differ according to fish size and sex, and also whether there are energetics trade-offs (e.g., fish that spawn have lower growth or survival). These data were also used to explore yearly variability in survival and growth among fish. We hope that learning more about life history variability and energetic tradeoffs will help biologists and managers learn more about how and why humpback chub are able to persist in a highly modified Colorado River.
