' k'ithin the North Fork of the Gunnison, the objectives were to identify <br />the major species of fish present and provide an indication of their abundance <br />• <br />and relative importance to the aquatic system. Objectives for benthic organism <br />sampling were to provide indications of dominant organisms, species diversity, <br />a^.3 abundance. 3enthic sampling was entirely in the North Fork, as most of <br />Stevens Gulch Creek is intermittent in character and of small importance to <br />acuatic life. H'ate_~ quality studies concentrated on providing data on basic <br />water duality parameters of importance to aquatic life and on parameters that <br />may be influenced by mine construction or operation. <br />• <br />• <br />2-3 <br />
