| Collecting Event Remarks | Water temp. = 20.5 C. Many tadpoles present. Belostomatids present. Sticklebacks very rare. This is a small remnat of a previously large lagoon. This small lagoon is the mouth of the creek sampled in MAB76-21. We had wondered whether there would be completely plated sticklebacks here. They are absent upstream of road but in wet years this lagoon is probably connected to the sea. Thus, we wonder if anadromous sticklebacks might be using this lagoon but not be able to move through the culvert under the road. However, preliminary examination indicates all sticklebacks in the lagoon are low plated. Thamnophis couchi caught. It has two newly metamorphosed Bufo inside its stomach. Also caught Leptocottus armatus and Cottus sp. | ||||||
