| Title: |
Avoid excessive deposition and sedimentation during fish spawning times. |
| Text: |
"AQUATIC SPECIES/AMPHIBIANS: Avoid stream channel disturbances during fish spawning seasons. Fish spawn at specific times of the year. The eggs incubate in the gravel until the yolk sac is absorbed and the larval fish can swim up through the gravel and into the main body of water. Eggs incubating in the redds can be smothered by the excessive deposition of sediment, and further affected by fungal spores carried in the sediment. Adults can be affected by the same fungal species with high mortality rates. Fish spawning dates and incubation times vary by elevation and temperatures, but in general the following intervals will apply in Colorado: [Spawning Intervals pg 16-17.]" |
