Species composition was <br />determined separately for the White River and Kenney Reservoir by pooling <br />the data for each area from each capture method, with the exception that <br />data from electrofishing in the White River were not included because fish <br />were netted selectively. Precise values of all sampling efforts and <br />numbers of squawfish captured are summarized in Table 3 for Kenney <br />Reservoir, and Table 4 for the White River. <br />Kenney reservoir was sampled by seining, gillnetting, and <br />electrofishing. Several sites along the shoreline of the reservoir were <br />seined monthly from June through October. Most hauls were conducted <br />manually, but some were assisted with a motor boat. Data from both <br />methods were pooled. Several gill nets were set monthly. Nets were set <br />overnight in all major habitats (e.g., shallow coves, deep coves, cliffs, <br />sloping areas, surface, bottom, midlake). Electrofishing was performed at <br />night, with a boat-mounted VVP-15, and spherical positive electrodes. The <br />reservoir was electrofished monthly from May through August in 1989, and <br />once in July, 1990. <br />Seining, gillnetting, electrofishing, and driftnetting were used to <br />sample the White River. Backwaters sites in the White River were seined <br />monthly from June through September. The number and location of these <br />sites varied each month with changes in flow. To take advantage of the <br />reduced current while the bottom outlet of the dam was shut, gill nets <br />were occasionally set in the area immediately below the dam. The river <br />was electrofished once each May. Both banks of the river were sampled <br />along the 16 km below Taylor Draw Dam. Low flows precluded electrofishing <br />at other times of the year, however in July, 1990, a small section of the <br /> <br />
