Appendix 1 for list of participants) and Paris River discharge: i.e., if the Paria River discharge
exceeded approximately 40 cfs, it was deemed unsafe and infeasible to sample.
Habitat
Habitat data were recorded at each sampling site. Representative depth (cm), turbidity
(NTtn and temperature (°C) were recorded from a representative location near the middle of
each site. Maximum depth (cm) was recorded from the deepest point sampled within each site.
•
Sediment was characterized (i.e., clay, silt, sand, gravel, pebble, cobble, boulder or bedrock) and
primary and secondary sediment Types were recorded for each sampling site. Stream velocity
(cm/s) was also measured, when the instrument was available (November). Stream discharge
data were obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey, Flagstaff, Arizona.
Fish
Fish were collected using one of two bag seines. The primary seine was 4.6 m long x
l .8 m high with a 3.2 mm nylon mesh on the wings and 1.6 mm mesh in the 1.8 x 1.8 m bag.
This seine was used at all upstream sites (Sites 1-9) and occasionally at sites in the mouth of the
