We trapped for ten days during August 2008. On 3 August we set 32 traps in four clusters of 8 traps each (C1-C4). On 5 August we set 15 traps along the road and added cluster C5 with 4 traps and 7 traps at C1 for a total of 50 traps. On 6 August we set 53 traps: C1-8, C2-8, C3-8, C4-8, C5-6, 1-15. On 10 August we changed clusters: 4 traps at C1-C5 and stations 15, 9, 5, and 1. On 12 August we changed clusters: placed 8 traps at station 1 with fish heads in three traps. The table below presents a summary of our trapping results. The links below the table provide access to files containing the raw data (including coordinates for trap locations).
