Colorado squawfish investigations in the White River, Utah as part of an
interagency agreement. This program also involved radiotelemetry with
Colorado squawfish as a means of assessing the importance of the White River
to threatened and endangered fishes. There was a reduced effort of
fisheries investigations in the White River in 1983, primarily because of
reduced funding and manpower by the FWS. Formal reports of the 1983 sample
efforts are not yet available to incorporate into this data survey.

Known Fish Sample Sites
At least 60 fish sample sites can be identified on the White River
within the state of Utah, RM 0.0 to RM 71.8 ( RM = river mile). These
represent the efforts of six investigative groups from 1974 to 1982.
The investigator(s), sample dates, sites and sample types are
identified in Table A-I. Each sample effort is assigned an arbitrary
sequential number that is identified on one of seven maps of the White
River, Utah (Figures A-I to A-7). Five sample records are coded but not
identified on any maps because either a specific sample site was not
provided in the report or the sample involved a longitudinal reach of river.
Crosby (1975a,b) sampled the river at eight sites in the fall of 1974
and late summer of 1975 but issued a formal report on only the first effort
(1975a). Samples were collected at the same sites both years with one
additional site in 1975. Lanigan and Berry sampled at 15 specific sites and
in two reaches of the river in 1978-1979. The initial report (1979) was
followed by a publication (1981). Miller et al. (1982) described 22 sites
