Table 3. Characteristics of the net catches in the drift at Modoc Point Road bridge and for three different gear types, Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, 2006–09. 


[Relative numbers of LRS and SNS in the drift determined with a Wilcoxon test (p <0.05). Abbreviations: CPUE, catch per unit effort; LRS, Lost River sucker; SNS, grouping of shortnose and Klamath largescale suckers; m³, cubic meter; >, greater than; <, less than; ~, not different from]
