should be noted that our "unverified" report of collection of the beauti- <br />ful shiner (Notropis formosus) in 1976 was subsequently found to be due to <br />collection of an aberrant specimen of the red shiner (N. lutrensis). Rela- <br />tive numbers of fish collected were comparable to the results of collec- <br />tions by Hill (1964) and Klein (1957). Length and weight data from speci- <br />mens collected by electrofishing and observed during creel census were also <br />presented. Limited aquatic invertebrate data collected in 1976 from the <br />North Fork, South Fork and main White River were also presented. Flows <br />necessary to preserve existing fisheries were estimated. <br />The status of endangered fish species which are known to or may <br />inhabit the White River have been discussed by several authors, including <br />Behnke (1973x, b, and c), Kidd (1975), Johnson (1976), Langlois (1977), <br />Seethaler, McAda and Wydoski (1977) and Seethaler (1978). A recovery plan <br />has been developed for the Colorado squawfish (Colorado Fishes Recovery <br />Team 1978), and a draft recovery plan for the humpback chub is available. <br />Olsen (1973)and Wilson (1973) presented very limited data on <br />biota of the White River in Utah. Baumann and Winget (1975), in an environ- <br />mental evaluation of proposed oil shale development in Uintah County, <br />Utah, summarized Utah Division of Wildlife Resources fish data collected <br />in 1974 and 1975 at eight stations on the White River by means of electro- <br />fishing and explosives. Eleven species were collected; red shiners, <br />speckled dace, and flannelmouth suckers were most common. Other species <br />reported were fathead minnow, carp, roundtail chub, bluehead sucker, <br />channel catfish, black bullhead, brown trout and smalimouth bass (Micropterus <br />
