RESULTS 



Seven catfish (two channel, two blue, and three flathead) and 

 eight largemouth bass were tagged and tracked during the study. 

 Little information was collected from the two blue catfish tagged 

 because both died within 36 hr after surgery. They seemed more 

 sensitive to the stress of handling and transport than the other 

 species. Since two of the flathead catfish and three largemouth bass 

 moved little, they are omitted from the following discussion. Five 

 largemouth bass, two channel catfish, and one flathead catfish moved 

 considerably, and three individuals tagged with thermistor trans- 

 mitters were selected to demonstrate successful passage past the 

 thermal zone during the warmest months.
