| Collecting Event Remarks | Water temp. = ? C. This is the place on the west shore that we always use to sample. Stickleback were very abundant, with 100 G. aculeatus in some traps. A few trout and salmon captured and 50 Pungitius. Among the Gasterosteus aculeatus were 14 anadromous fish. Most were male. All were complete morphs and about 50% longer (70mm SL) than the deep-bodied small (40-50mm SL) benthics of this lake. One male anadromous was brightly colored, indicating that he was nesting, but no gravid female anadromous captured. Pungitius preserved in formalin for head study. | ||||||
