Summary

These data represent capture histories for humpback chub (Gila cypha) that spawn in the Little Colorado River (LCR) from 2009-2017. Capture histories pertain to size class (<150mm total length [TL], 150-199mm TL, 200-249mm TL, and >250mm TL) and spatial location (the juvenile chub monitoring [JCM] reach in the Colorado River [63.4-65.0 river miles downstream of Lees Ferry], lower LCR [0-13.56 km upstream of Colorado River confluence], and upper LCR [13.57-17.9 km upstream of Colorado River confluence]).

Purpose

The main purpose of creating this dataset is to assess the effectiveness of translocations as a management action for increasing the number of adult humpback chub that spawn in the LCR. These capture histories were used to fit a Bayesian multistate model and estimate humpback chub vital rates (e.g., survival, growth, and movement probabilities). Posterior distributions of vital rates from the multi-state model were then used to simulate (and compare) abundances from scenarios with and without translocations.
