Topic	Fish: 2002 Dive Salmonid Count Garcia (GAR_1) Above Highway 1

 

Caption:  The chart above shows survey results from direct observation dives in the Garcia River approximately 100 yards upstream of Highway 1 on August 21, 2002. The fish community was dominated by steelhead juveniles of different age classes with young of the year the major component, but yearling and two year old fish well represented. The dive was conducted to compare community structure to California Department of Fish and Game electrofishing of the Garcia River at three sites on August 13, 1952 (CDFG, 1953). The dive survey was focused on steelhead abundance and age classification; therefore results likely under represent other species like sculpin, which are low in the water column, and sticklebacks, which are in the margins of the stream. See InfoLinks for more discussion about methods and for a link to CDFG (1953).
