The Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) completed 2,723 collections of fishes from stratified random and permanently fixed sampling locations in six study reaches of the Upper Mississippi River System during 1995. Collection methods included day and night electrofishing, hoop netting, fyke netting (two net sizes), gill netting, seining, and trawling in select aquatic area classes. The six LTRMP study reaches are Pools 4 (excluding Lake Pepin), 8, 13, and 26 of the Upper Mississippi River, an unimpounded reach of the Mississippi River near Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and the La Grange Pool of the Illinois River. A total of 59–72 fish species were detected in each study reach. For each of the six LTRMP study...

Personnel of the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program for the Upper Mississippi River System have collected fish information in Navigation Pool 8 since 1989. In this report, I summarize data collected during the period 1991 97, in which gear deployment methods and sampling periods remained stable but fixed-site sampling changed to predominantly stratified random sampling in 1993. Sampling collections totaled 3,596 and yielded 324,948 fish of 91 species. Sampling effort increased over time, mainly when the change to random sampling occurred. Annual catches and species totals increased when random sampling was implemented; catches increased even with stable sampling effort in recent years. Of 12 gear types used,...

The Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) completed 2,664 collections of fishes from stratified random and permanently fixed sampling locations in six study reaches of the Upper Mississippi River System during 1998. Collection methods included day and night electrofishing, hoop netting, fyke netting (two net sizes), gill netting, seining, and trawling in select aquatic area classes. The six LTRMP study reaches are Pools 4 (excluding Lake Pepin), 8, 13, and 26 of the Upper Mississippi River, an unimpounded reach of the Mississippi River near Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and the La Grange Pool of the Illinois River. A total of 63–75 fish species were detected in each study reach. For each of the six LTRMP study...
