Topic	Fish: 1995 Estuary (3) August Total Catch by Station

 

Caption:  This Chart shows the total catch at all stations for seining samples collected by Higgins (1995) in the Garcia River estuary in August 1995. By August Garcia River flows had dropped so low that marine species had intruded as far upstream as station G3. As marine algae colonized the lower reaches, they shifted from a riverine sub-system to a bay sub-system with many juvenile marine species using it as a nursery. The lack of steelhead a station G1 was due to problems with sampling not absence of steelhead juveniles or a shift in limnological conditions. See InfoLinks for more information on sampling methods and findings of study by Higgins (1996). Species contractions are stklbk = stickleback, prkly scan = prickly sculpin, stag scan = staghorn sculpin, shiner parch = shiner perch, starry folder = starry flounder, bagpipe = bay pipefish.
