There is a need to identify the extent of seasonal movement by burbot and evaluate the primary prey resources contributing to the diet of burbot and lake trout in Flaming Gorge Reservoir. This study will provide contemporary information about the effect of burbot on food web structure in Flaming Gorge Resevoir and document the extent of burbot migration and location of spawning sites in the reservoir, to guide the development of targeted removal efforts.
