;' % L <br />amounts of debris. The samples were transferred to glass jars and preserved in 10% <br />formaldehyde. Both light trap and drift net samples were taken back to the laboratory where <br />debris was sorted through to find larvae and small fish. The fish were identified to species. <br />Sub-adult and adult sampling in the raceway and Green River Canal <br />The raceway (control gates to the Thayn Power Plant; 0.63 km) was sampled twice by <br />electrofishing. On 14 June 2000 the electrofishing system consisted of a 16-foot Avon raft, a 9.9 <br />HP outboard motor and a Smith and Root electrofishing unit. One person rowed or used the <br />outboard motor and operated the electrofishing unit; a second person netted the fish. On 13 <br />September 2000 the electrofishing system consisted of two canoes that were strapped together, a <br />generator, and a Cofelt VVP-2C electrofishing unit. One person rowed the canoe from the stern <br />and two persons netted and held the anodes at the bow. Two passes were conducted in each <br />month, both the right and left bank. Approximately four amperes was used to shock fish. <br />The Green River Canal was sampled on 26-27 July and 13 September 2000. The canal was <br />electrofished using the canoe setup mentioned previously. Water depths in the canal below the <br />first siphon rarely exceeded 4.4 feet (1.3 m) (Figure 2). <br />All fish captured were identified and counted. Endangered fish were weighed, <br />measured, and scanned for a PIT-tag; if no PIT-tag was found, a tag was injected and the fish <br />was released alive. In September and November all endangered fish captured in the raceway and <br />canal were immediately translocated to the Green River. <br />Draining the Green River Canal <br />The Green River Canal Company (GRCC) drained the Green River.
