Short-term Rio Grande Silvery Minnow monitoring in April, 2019, near Socorro, New Mexico

Fish sampling data collected during the following April of 2019, an additional 30 sites (40 total) were sampled in the San Acacia Reach to improve the spatial coverage and reduce sampling error within a smaller stream length (~ 100 km). Three of these sites were located where the 2018 cohort of hatchery-reared RGS Minnow were released, the remaining 27 were randomly selected from the area between the San Acacia Diversion Dam and the low-flow conveyance channel return in the Elephant Butte Reservoir hold pool.
