INTRODUCTION

This survey of fish collections in the White River, Utah was
assimilated to provide White River Shale Oil Corporation (WRSOC) with a
perspective of the riverine fisheries resources adjacent to Tracts Ua and
Ub. All known fisheries studies of the White River within the state of Utah
are cited and the appropriate data from each compared to provide a synopsis
of past and current efforts. Information gleaned from each report is
presented in tabular form, including the location and description of each
known sample site, investigators involved, sample dates, and gear types
used. An arbitrary sample code is assigned to each significant collection
that corresponds to a sample site identified on river maps included in this
report. Also included in tabular form are locations and descriptions of
known capture sites of threatened and endangered fishes. Each fish is
assigned an arbitrary number indicated on river maps in this report and
corresponding to species name, investigators involved, date and location
captured, total length and weight, and tag or identification number. A
literature cited section is provided as a compendium of fisheries works in
the White River, Utah. The maps in this report are reduced photocopies of
standard USGS I5-minute series topographic quadrangle maps. River miles,
measured upstream from the White River-Green River confluence, are indicated
on the maps at intervals of 5 miles. Some discrepancies were found between
reports cited as to river-mile locations. Most, however, were reasonably
