-103- <br />• <br />electrofisher was present in Foidel Creek, therefore, a dip net was <br />employed to capture fish at these stations. Fish captured were <br />identified, counted, and total length in millimeters determined. <br />From these data, relative abundance and distribution were obtained. <br />Due to the generally small number captured of each species, a <br />meaningful length frequency analysis could not be accomplished. <br />Food web relationships were determined primarily from the literature. <br />2.2.2.2 Results <br />Fish Creek - During the study period Fish Creek was a <br />meandering stream averaging 3.5 meters in width at the upstreaa <br />sampling station, and widening to an average of 4.8 meters directly <br />above its confluence with Trout Creek. Substrate at the upper <br />station consisted primarily of rubble and gravel, with some silt <br />present in pools and slow-water areas. Substrate at the middle <br />station on Fish Creek consisted mostly of gravel, but sand and <br />silt were present. Lower Fish Creek had some gravel present in <br />riffle areas, but sand, silt, and clay predominated. Gravel areas <br />were heavily-silted in this area of the stress. :lacrophytes were <br />not abundant is this creek (Table 27) and the only species collected <br />was pondweed (Potamo¢eton sp). <br />A checklist of the benthic macro invertebrate taxa identified <br />in ccllectians from Fish Creek is presented in Tab'_e 28; the number <br />counted of each taxa is also given by station. These data are <br />summarized and the calculated diversity at each station is given <br /> <br />
