<br />Table I. Summary oftotal hours of removal effort for both methods employed. Shocking <br />hours are equal to actual hours of shocking time. Fyke net hours are equal to the total set- <br />time for all nets in each section. <br />Section Method Trip 0 Trip 1 Trip 2 Trip 3 Trip 4 TripS <br />1 Shock 0.00 0.00 2.75 3.50 3.20 2.75 <br /> Fyke net 144.25 541.5 292.25 261.25 286.0 263.75 <br />2 Shock 0.00 0.00 2.75 3.25 3.00 2.25 <br /> Fyke net 0.00 240.25 262.25 253.5 268.5 259.0 <br />3 Shock 0.00 0.00 2.20 1.50 1.50 2.50 <br /> Fyke net 0.00 188.5 266.0 304.75 249.5 0.00 <br />4 Shock 0.00 0.00 3.00 2.25 3.00 0.00 <br /> Fyke net 0.00 245.5 249.75 135.5 236.5 0.00 <br />5 Shock 0.00 0.00 1.75 0.00 1.25 0.00 <br /> Fyke net 0.00 246.0 233.0 300.0 248.0 0.00 <br /> <br />Quantities and weights were recorded for all fish species captured. Lengths and weights <br />were recorded monthly for at least 25 of each nonnative target species, channel catfish <br />(cc), smallmouth bass (smb), green sunfish, black crappie, and bluegill, for length to <br />weight relationships. All remaining nonnatives were counted and weighed by species. <br />Total numbers and weights for catfish, small mouth bass, and carp (cp) were divided into <br />three size classes: Smail (0-199 mm), medium (200-299 mm), and large (;,300 mm). <br />Nonnatives were then buried on banks away from human access. Other information <br />collected included river habitats, relative flows, turbidity, and hours of effort for catch per <br />unit effort calculations. In addition, floy tags were used to mark 50 catfish, 2S <br />smallmouth bass, and II carp to examine capture efficiency rates. All native fish <br />captured were identified, weighed, measured, scanned for tags or marks, and released. <br /> <br />Removal data for all nonnative fish is summarized in table 2. Information for all native <br />fish species captured is listed in table 3. <br /> <br />Table 2. Total number and weight for all nonnatives removed by fyke net and electroshocking <br />during the entire removal period (Aug.6-0ct. 16).
