Study Uncovers Migration Patterns of Native Fish in the Colorado River
A study conducted by the USGS provides new insights into the migration patterns of three native fish species in the Colorado River: humpback chub, flannelmouth sucker, and bluehead sucker. This research highlights the importance of understanding native fish population dynamics within the Colorado River ecosystem in Grand Canyon, AZ.
Humpback Chub in the Colorado River, Grand Canyon
Threatened humpback chub are a native fish found only in the Colorado River Basin. Once found in warm-water canyons in the Basin, the largest population now persists in the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, downstream of Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell, the reservoir upstream, created by the dam.
