B.Evaluate the densities from Objective A relative to (i) discharge timing, magnitude, and duration; and (ii) extent and duration of river drying as they pertain to population fluctuation of native and nonnative MRG fish species, with a focus on RGSM. C.Compare changes among sampling periods in RGSM abundance with that of other native and nonnative fish species D.Communicate findings to Reclamation, the Service, and the Collaborative Program.
