These congressionalauthorizations determine what and how much water can be stored, the purposesfor which water can be stored, and when and how it must be released. Water may be storedfor a variety of purposes such as flood control, conservation storage (storing the natural flow of the river for later use, usually municipal or agricultural),power production, sediment controlfish and wildlife benefits, or recreation.

Habitat Use of Rio Grande Silvery Minnow

Propst New Mexico Department of Game and Fish State Capitol, Villagra Building P.O. box 25112 Santa Fe, New Mexico 87504 and James P. Wilber United States Bureau of Reclamation 505 Marquette NW, Suite 1313 Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102 17 December 1997 Dudley & Platania 1997. Habitat use of Rio Grande silvery minnow. FINAL-DECEMBER 1997 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The primary purpose of this study was to characterize habitat use of Rio Grande silvery minnow at two sites, Rio Rancho and Socorro, in the Middle Rio Grande, NM. Habitat use was determined through a series of measurements of depth, velocity and substrate taken in the area where fish were collected. Habitat availability was measured along permanent transects at each site. Rio Grande silvery minnow was relatively abundant at both sampling localities, but was more numerous and comprised a greater percentage of the total catch at Socorro than at Rio Rancho. Red shiner, western mosquitofish, flathead chub, fathead minnow, longnose dace and white sucker were present in moderate numbers at both sites, but the other 12 species collected during the study accounted for less than 5% of the total catch. Although the abundance of fish varied widely across time within sites, the majority of all fish were collected at the Socorro, NM site. The mesohabitats most commonly occupied by all size-classes of Rio Grande fishes were low water velocity habitats over small substrata. -
