Abstract
June sucker (Chasmistes liorus) spawned in the Provo River, Utah, over a 2-wk period in early June during both 1987 and 1988. Emergent larva e emigrated from the river to Utah Lake over a 2- to 3-wk period. Drif t into the lake peaked between 1200 and 0400. During daylight hours, e mergent larvae tended to occur in pools. Peak emergence of larval drif t was approximately 1.2 larvae/m3 during late June in 1987 and 1988. R ecruitment failure of June sucker is not due to reproductive failure.
