Waters were grouped with consideration of geographical, biological, and recrea- tional user (angler) similarities. Planning units $/ere combined by physicat characteristics into .lake, stream, canal, and temporarj-ly cold water planning groups which are further combined to form state- wide planning classes (i.e., warm water, cold water, cool water: ur- ban water, as defined in AGFD Fisheries Planning Program, Revised Nov., I980) . The 75 identified planning units contain 380 Arizona publj-c fishing waters (includes B stream management reaches and lakes not listed in the Checklist of Arizona's Public Fishing Waters, AGF'D' Dec., I9B0). The number of waters and planning units for each planning group and class are given below.

Bonar, Norman Mercado-Silva, and David Rogowski Fisheries Research Report 02-10 Support Provided by: 1 Habitat use by the fishes of a southwestern desert stream: Cherry Creek, Arizona By Scott A. Bonar, Norman Mercado-Silva, and David Rogowski USGS Arizona Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit School of Natural Resources and the Environment 325 Biological Sciences East University of Arizona Tucson AZ 85721 USGS Arizona Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Unit Fisheries Research Report 02-10 Funding provided by: United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service With additional support from: School of Natural Resources and the Environment, University of Arizona Arizona Department of Game and Fish United States Geological Survey 2 Executive Summary Fish communities in the Southwest U.S. face numerous threats of anthropogenic origin. Most importantly, declining instream flows have impacted southwestern stream fish assemblages. Maintenance of water flows that sustain viable fish communities is key in maintaining the ecological function of river ecosystems in arid regions. Efforts to calculate the optimal amount of water that will ensure long-term viability of species in a stream community require that the specific habitat requirements for all species in the community be known. Habitat suitability criteria (HSC) are used to translate structural and hydraulic characteristics of streams into indices of habitat quality for fishes. Habitat suitability criteria summarize the preference of fishes for numerous habitat variables. We estimated HSC for water depth, water velocity, substrate, and water temperature for the fishes of Cherry Creek, Arizona, a perennial desert stream.
