Water temp. = 22 C. Temp is 24°C where most of the fish are being caught. Small fry are here but rare. Females in reproductive condition, and males in nuptial coloration. Most fish caught in vegetation where males predominate. This is the same locality as MAB77-60. Eucyclogobius were more abundant in the open areas away from vegetation. Except for 1, none were in nuptial coloration. Also caught Leptocottus armatus, Eucyclogobius newberryi, and Cottus asper. |
