They sampled 13 sites, but only 6 of the <br />wet sites contained fish (Table 11). Fathead minnow, plains killifish, and creek chub made up <br />over 75 percent of the catch, and longnose dace and white sucker, (also considered abundant in <br />the South Platte River Basin) added another 10 percent (Table 12). Johnny darter and brook <br />stickleback were each found at one site, and yielded 2.5 and 1.6 percent of the catch, respectively. <br />Introduced species made up 10 percent of the total catch. Yellow perch collected from one, off- <br />channel pond made up all but one of the total number of introduced fishes collected. Since <br />sampling was typically restricted to stream channels, this abundance data for yellow perch is <br />misleading. The high proportion of fishless sampling sites suggest a high potential for re- <br />colonization efforts. <br /> <br />21 <br />
