- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the impacts of the restoration of the Colorado River through the managed flood from the Glen Canyon Dam in Arizona on fishes. It states that the flood had lower effects on distribution, abundance, or movement of native fishes of the Colorado River, and mentions that shoreline and backwater catch rates of the fishes did not differ significantly following the flood. It notes migrations of flannelmouth suckers into the Paria River after the flood.
