28 <br />squawfish (67, 72, 106, 106 mm) were captured on July 17-18, 1980, <br />near Imperial Canyon (river mile 200), and during this time 5 adult <br />striped bass were captured near Gypsum Canyon (Mike Ottenbacher, <br />Utah Fishery Biologist, personal communication, 1980). One juvenile <br />squawfish (251 mm) was gillnetted at Gypsum Canyon on July 22, 1981. <br />In conclusion, as long as bass congregate for spawning below <br />Cataract Canyon rapids and threadfin shad are abundant, there is <br />evidently little cause for concern about striped bass preying heavily <br />on endemic fishes. <br /> <br />
