Data are presented from gut content analysis of 94 Awaous stamineus (Edouyx & Souleyet) ('o'opu niikea) collected from the Wainiha River on the north shore of the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i during the period from June 1990 to May 1991. Also presented are results from gut analysis of 11 preserved museum specimens captured in Lii'iemalo'o stream, O'ahu, in February 1938 and June 1939. The results ...

We correlated maximum lengths of freshwater fishes captured during 10 years with standard gears (i.e., gill nets, boat electrofishers and trap nets) and angling from Nebraska water bodies to determine which methodology provided better estimates of maximum size of fishes produced within a given water body. In general, maximum length of fishes captured with standard gears was smaller than maximum...

The upper Gila River basin is one of the few unimpounded drainage basins west of the Continental Divide, and as such is a stronghold for endemic fishes in the region. Nevertheless, multiple nonindigenous fishes potentially threaten the persistence of native fishes, and little is known of the trophic ecology of either native or nonnative fishes in this system. Gut contents and stable isotopes (C...
