R$SULTS :L"CI) DISCUSSION <br /> <br />A total of seven fish species was collected by electrofishing on <br />August 17, 1979 which included white sucker (Catostomus cortunersoni), <br />flannelmouth sacker (Catostcmus latipinnis), redside shiner (Richardsonius <br />balteatus), speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus), rainbow trout (Saimo <br />gairdneri), mottled sculpin (Cottus bairdi), and mountain whitefish <br />(Prosopium williamsoni) (Table 1). The species which represent recrea- <br />tional importance as a game fish are the rainbow trout and mountair. <br />whitefish. <br />Relatively low numbers of Eish were collected along Both ccar.sects. <br />Cf the 2E fist captured in the upstream portion, redside shiner ar.d <br />white sucker were the most abundant species, recresenting SS and 19°; of <br />*_i~e fetal .arch, r.espe•_t:.e!_' ;Table i). The ether four species _ _- <br />tured in the upstream transect ccnsi.s..ed of or.iy cne or two specime:u <br />each. Fish composition in the dowastream portion was similar to the <br />upstream section except for the presence of mountain whitefish and <br />absence of mottled sculpin and rainbow trout in the do~:nstrear.~ transect. <br />However, mottled sculpin were observed in the downstream area, even <br />though no specimens were captured. A total of 22 fish was collected in <br />the downstream transect, consisting mostly of speckled dace (32%), <br />redside shiner (2i'bj, and white sucker (18%). Heav-7 rains occurred tae <br />day preceding the survey, c:hich increased the turbidity and probably <br />reduced the efficiency for capturing smaller fish, especially mottled <br />sculpin. <br />• Lengths and weights of captured fish are presented in ?'able 2. <br />Since re la Cicely few specimens were captured for each species, condition <br />\_ <br />coefficients were not calculated. However, it is worth noting that the <br />3 <br />
