Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Herring were not present in Trunk River during the time we were sampling. A few specimens of mummichogs and other small fish were collected. Since these other fish are not the main focus of the study, they will be analyzed only if time and manpower is available.
