My search ended with Mammoth lakes ...Happy Holidays<br />My search ended with Mammoth lakes in the Sierra Nevada region. The only catch was two limitations:<br />- surface area for the Mammoth lakes is less than the search criteria (500+)<br />-none of the lakes have been restocked in the past eight weeks :-(<br />(https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FishPlants/)<br /><br /><br />I went into the elevation data (http://waterdata.usgs.gov/ca/nwis/rt/) to try and refine search for water bodies with elevations of more than 8000ft elevation but it gave me the dreaded 'HTTP error 404'<br />...the search continues...happy new Year to other Search Researchersctdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082512232504944840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-5256978067703267292014-12-24T20:21:33.864-08:002014-12-24T20:21:33.864-08:00Seasons Greetings Searchers.
Another curious prob...Seasons Greetings Searchers.<br /><br />Another curious problem. My first source to check was<br /><br />California Fish and Game. It has a lovely searchable map with clickable details re altitude and size of whatever you click on and we search by stocked waters which they call "planted". And it has easily downloadable date tables. This, I thought, is it. But not for me.<br /><br />I believe the only area that can have lakes above the Scholarly High Elevation of 8000 feet/2400m is Sierra Nevada mountains. People have been very careless in planting fishes of alien species in CA. <br /><br />I thought of the National Parks and Forests. Parks are not allowed to be planted. But CA does plant Forest areas for the Feds.<br /><br />A lengthy but interesting history is this:<br /><br />Non-Native Trout in Natural <br />Lakes of the Sierra Nevada: <br />An Analysis of Their <br />Distribution and Impacts on <br />Native Aquatic Biota<br /><br />http://www.highsierrahikers.org/issue_fish_main.html<br /><br />That is all I can do for a couple of days.<br /><br />Jon tU<br /><br />jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450649073262987652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-42561138430982045692014-12-24T16:17:41.498-08:002014-12-24T16:17:41.498-08:00Wishing all the Search Researchers a Merry Christm...Wishing all the Search Researchers a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season! This looks like a really interesting challenge. I will probably not get a chance to work on this until Friday. We have a houseful of company here- our daughter and her fiance in from England, our son is back for the holidays from Austin Tex. and our daughter's fiance's parents and sister are also visiting from England. This may give me something to keep me busy on Friday!<br />Debra Gottslebenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074610468240387547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-23620341153650648702014-12-24T08:32:42.387-08:002014-12-24T08:32:42.387-08:00Good Morning and Happy Christmas Eve, Dr. Russell....Good Morning and Happy Christmas Eve, Dr. Russell. <br /><br />The Challenge sounds amazingly fun and very interesting.
