Table 1 -- Waters used for recovery of greenback cutthroat trout from 1957 to 1999. We identified the major river basin, name, drainage, and Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) water code of each recovery water. Additional information on each water can be obtained by searching for this water code in the ADAMAS database (CDOW 2000). Elevations (m) were obtained from U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000 topographic maps or the ADAMAS database. For streams, elevations are the downstream limits of allopatric populations of greenback cutthroat trout. If populations were largely sympatric with nonnative species or consisted of hybridized fish, the downstream-most location where regularly reported is given. Lake sizes (ha) were obtained from the ADAMAS database. Short reaches of lake inlets or outlets that also contained greenback cutthroat trout were not included. The lengths (km) of occupied portions of streams were obtained from reports. Single values for streams indicate a field measurement of fish distribution or consensus on a single value, whereas ranges reflect different estimates given in the absence of field measurements. The year that fish were discovered or introduced into recovery waters is also noted. If establishment of greenback cutthroat trout was attempted more than once in a water (e.g., following a chemical treatment to remove all fish), additional dates are included. An asterisk (*) indicates that recovery efforts have been abandoned or greenback cutthroat trout have been extirpated in a water because of invasion by nonnative salmonids, unsuitable habitat, or a lack of reproduction by greenback cutthroat trout. Missing data are denoted by a dashed line.
