values reported for Louisiana backwater areas and rivers by Lantz (1970a, 

 b), and within the range of values reported for the same Louisiana 

 backwater area by Lambou (1959). These biomass estimates are also 

 slightly higher on the average than fish populations reported from North 

 Carolina swamp streams by Bayless and Smith (1963) and Tarplee et al. 

 (1971), although most values in this study were within the range reported 

 in the literature.
