Summary

These data were compiled to create models that estimate entrainment rates and population growth rates of smallmouth bass below Glen Canyon Dam. Objective(s) of our study were to predict smallmouth bass entrainment rates and population growth under different future scenarios of Lake Powell elevations and management. These data represent parameters needed for associated models and data needed to produce figures. These data were collected from publicly available online sources including published papers and federal government datasets. These data were assembled by researchers from U.S. Geological Survey, Utah State University, Colorado State University, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. These data can be used to run models that estimate [...]

Purpose

The purpose of these data are to run models to predict smallmouth bass entrainment rates from Lake Powell through Glen Canyon Dam and predict population growth rates in the river below. Models were run under different Lake Powell elevations and management scenarios. These data were assembled to run 1) entrainment model and 2) population growth model for smallmouth bass. These data can be used to run the associated models under a variety of future management scenarios. Model parameters can be updated with new/additional data as they become available.
