<br />In LD3 in 1994 to 1996, seven native and eight introduced species and four hybrid <br />suckers were captured by electrofishing. Flannelmouth sucker, brown trout, bluehead sucker, <br />common carp, and mountain whitefish were the most common species collected, and represented <br />88% of the total assemblage. Native species represented 56% of all fish captured, by number. <br />The most upstream captures of red shiner in Lodore Canyon were in this reach. In LD3 in the <br />2002 to 2004 period, seven native and ten introduced species and three hybrids were captured by <br />electrofishing. Brown trout, flannelmouth sucker, bluehead sucker, common carp, and channel <br />catfish were the five most common species, and made up 81% of the fish community. Native <br />fishes were 39% of the total, by number. <br />In LD4 in 1994 to 1996, eight native and 11 introduced species and five hybrids were <br />captured by electrofishing. Flannelmouth sucker, bluehead sucker, common carp, brown trout, <br />and red shiner were the most numerically abundant species collected, and represented 87% of the <br />total assemblage. Native species represented 63% of all fishes captured, by number. The only <br />razorback sucker captured in the 1994 to 1996 survey came from LD4. First captures of northern <br />pike Esox lucius and higher abundance of channel catfish were also notable in the 1994 to 1996 <br />period. In LD4 in the 2002 to 2004 period, seven native and twelve introduced species and six <br />hybrids were captured by electrofishing. Flannelmouth sucker, common carp, channel catfish, <br />bluehead sucker were the four most common species, smallmouth bass and brown trout were tied <br />for the fifth most common species, and together made up 82% of the fish community. Capture <br />of relatively large numbers of smallmouth bass and the relatively low numbers of brown trout <br />were notable. Native fishes were 42% of the total, by number. <br />In reach WH 1 in 2002 to 2004, nine native and 12 introduced species and five hybrids <br />were captured by electrofishing. Flannelmouth sucker, bluehead sucker, channel catfish, <br />smallmouth bass, and common carp were the five most common species collected and <br />represented 86% of the total assemblage. Native species represented 57% of all fishes captured. <br />In reach WH2 in 2002 to 2004, nine native and 12 introduced species and five hybrids <br />were captured by electrofishing.
