<br />canal. <br />The draining of the Green River Canal began 10 November 2000 after the irrigation season. On <br />14 November the canal was electrofished but no endangered fish were seen. Once the canal had <br />drained, no endangered were found stranded; however, a few red shiners, carp, bluehead sucker, <br />and flannelmouth sucker were found in isolated pools. Cavalli (2000) also examined the canal a <br />few weeks after draining in 1998. He found a few fish stranded, but he also found tracks from <br />birds, humans, and other mammals, suggesting more fish may have been stranded than he <br />observed. Based on what we observed, the canal does not appear to strand many fish. However, <br />Cavelli reported that a local resident found a Colorado pikeminnow in his ditch after the <br />irrigation season (year unknown).
