Abstract:
Fish were collected from the lower White River, Arkansas, during low (September-October 1987) and moderately high flow (May 1988) periods. The study area was divided into two reaches for sampling. the entrance channel reach extended from the Mississippi River to the entrance of the Arkansas Post Canal, at approximately White river mile 10; the upstream reach extended from approximately White River miles 12-18. Fish abundance and distribution were assessed using a boat electroshocker, hoop nets, seines, and hydroacoustic techniques. Aquatic habitus within each reach were identified and described, and general water quality sampling was conducted. (FR)
