Table 3. Comparison by sampling method offish species captured in the Price River in 1996 and
1997. The total number of each species caught by each method is shown. 1996 values
are shown first, followed by 1997 values. Values shown with the headings denote the
sample size and the effort expended each year. The row labeled "Unknown Sucker"
denotes suckers that were not identified to species due to time constraints. These fish
were probably bluehead suckers but they could have been mountain suckers. Native
species are shown in bold.

* Small fish were often seen while electrofishing in 1996 but were not always collected, so the
numbers shown for many species are probably underestimates and red shiners were not
enumerated. An effort was made to collect all fish in 1997, so the values from that year are more
accurate.
