| Collecting Event Remarks | Water temp. = 20 C. Lilies are flowering-lake is ahead of where it was last year, but I don't see any stickleback. Lettering system does not necessarily correspond to that of previous years. Sticklebacks seen individually or in groups of 2 or 3 as I round along shallows, but sometimes far from shore. Station E: 9 traps set about 1630 near submerged branches at 0.5m. Chara well developed. Traps pulled at 1930 hr. 2.5 bottles. Station C: 9 traps set about 1445 near outlet. Vegetation poorly developed, bottom marly. Some traps set near shore among fallen branches and some in open offshore where sticklebacks seen. Dept 35 cm. Traps pulled at 1730 hr. 2.5 bottles of fish. Unpredictable how traps do in cover vs open. Station B: 9 traps set about 1910. This is station near arm with lots of lilies. Traps set either among fallen alder branches or at nearshore edge of Chara bed where fish seen. Traps pulled at 1800 hr. 2 bottles of fish. I checked traps at Station E, and they contained fish, one about 50 fish. Station A: 20 traps set at 1830 hr. Sample will be culled for reproductives and remaining fish preserved. Traps pulled about 1930 hr to 2100. Water temp. = ? C. Subsamples taken live for crosses and in 95% ethanol for DNA. | ||||||
