< 1992 Following piscicide appl., numerous
sticklebacks (Gasterosteus
aculeatus) were removed from the
pond. Adult TRCR were observed in
the pond with no apparent ill

1992 Following piscicide appl., numerous
fish were removed from the pond.
Introduced aquatic plants provided
cover for TRVU larvae which
hatched in July of the same year.

1970 There were a number of small frogs
that died with Rotenone treatment
but an equal number were found to
rest on the shore along the water
line. Attempts to drive them into
the water were unsuccessful. (Note:
temperature 26 - 34.5°C.)
