| Collecting Event Remarks | Water temp. = 23.5 C. Salmo gairdneri seen but not seined. Entosphenus was told to us to be here. No males with nuptial coloration. Most fish seined from large (60 m long) pool, reaching a maximum of about 2 m deep. While collecting following potential predators were observed: belostomatid, Thamnophis couchi, trout, pair of kingfishers flew over our head. Clemmys also present. This appears to be a permanent habitat. Even after drought water marks on cliff indicate drop of no more than 10 cm and water is flowing into and out of the pool. All Cottus and a few sticklebacks were collected in a shallow (<30 cm deep) pool just downstream. Also caught Cottus asper and Lampetra tridentata. | ||||||
