Channel Catfish #40:7033 (CC703)
CC703 was captured by electrofishing at the same time and location as CC653 (RM 79.5
on 23 Jul. 1996). By 27 August 1996 this fish had moved upstream to a very deep pool
(>12 feet) at RM 80.1 (Figure 21 and 22). The signal emitted by this fish was weak
(possibly due to the depth of the pool and large submerged boulders) and precise
locations were not possible. During the final week of the study (23 October 1996) this
fish was located in the downstream end of the pool (RM 80.0) where a stronger signal
was observed.

the general pool where it was captured throughout the month of September, however it
