Depth Width 16.5 m Salinity 0 Gear 10 ft, 1/8 inch mesh seine
Locality Little River, 6.50 km from mouth
Latitude-Longitude 41.0122417°N, 124.0718417°W Bottom Type gravel
Acc. Number 2018-X:19 Specimen Remarks m, f, juveniles. Fixed in 10% buffered (dolomite) formalin ~1 month.
Collecting Event Remarks Water Temp. = 21C. Most of the fish were seined in <25 cm of water. Upstream of this point G. aculeatus became increasingly rare until they became absent at point indicated on map. Conversely within the same stretch of stream, Oncorhynchus sp. become increasingly abundant. Upstream of this point the river becomes increasingly dominated by alternating riffles and pools with occassional water falls of about 3 a meter. However these falls are probably not used at during high water.

Acc. Number 2018-X:19 Specimen Remarks m, f, juveniles. Fixed in 10% buffered (dolomite) formalin ~1 month.
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.

Depth Width ? m Salinity 0 Gear 10 ft, 1/8 inch mesh seine
Locality Brush Creek mouth
Latitude-Longitude 38.9750167°N, 123.7101917°W Bottom Type sand
Acc. Number 2018-X:19 Specimen Remarks m, f, juveniles. Fixed in 10% buffered (dolomite) formalin ~1 month.
Collecting Event Remarks Water temp. = ? C. This is a dry lagoon of Brush Creek. It appears to have gone dry within last few days, except for small pools 20mx1m (maximum) at deepest point. Sticklebacks died in large number well before complete drying. Intact bodies were collected dry from sand and placed in formalin. Sticklebacks were collected regardless of lateral plate count from a restricted area regardless of condition. This was done to avoid bias resulting from correlation between plate count and condition of fish. It is interesting to note that these fish have been passed long enough to dry up, but although numerous gulls were seen on the beach, large numbers of fish remain, were not eaten. There was no evidence of feeding by birds or any other animal on the stranded carcasses. Creek dry upstream to state park boundary and beyond an undetermined distance. Almost all sticklebacks gaping as though suffocated. It appears from the shape of dry lagoon that in normal years stream would flow across beach to sea- at least in the winter. Also caught Cottus sp.

Most brightly colored male had faint red stream posterior to pectoral fin on body. Also caught Oncorhynchus mykiss, Cottus asper, and Lampetra tridentata.

Depth Width 4-7 m Salinity 0 to 18 Gear 10 ft, 1/8 inch mesh seine
Locality Lagoon Creek, tributary to Brush Creek
Latitude-Longitude 38.9734778°N, 123.7118417°W Bottom Type sand, mud
Acc. Number 2018-X:19 Specimen Remarks m, f, juveniles. Fixed in 10% buffered (dolomite) formalin ~1 month.
Collecting Event Remarks Water temp. = 24 C. Water is so deeply tea stained that meter stick could not be seen below 45 cm depth. This is a slough that joins Brush Creek immediately inland of a beach dunes. We did not notice this last summer and judging from abundance of sticklebacks, much of the habitat must have survived the drought. The flow from here may have caused high frequency of low plated fish in the lagoon. Tadpoles seen. Cottus thrown back, all sticklebacks kept. Also caught Leptocottus armatus, Cottus asper, Platichthys stellatus, and Oncorhynchus mykisss.
