migrant species recorded
downstream (including one migrant invertebrate), and only two recorded upstream. Red fin
bully, which was recorded at both sites, was much more abundant downstream (0.23 fish/m2)
than upstream (0.03 fish/m2). Although this species can climb over the weir, it is apparent that
the weir is still a significant barrier to this species.
The seine netting had similar results, with this method recording 72 common smelt
downstream of the weir, at a density of 0.8 fish/m2, but
