Abstract

In conjuction with a creel census conducted cooperatively by personnel of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and Grand Teton National Park, and with Robert Wiley the principal investigator of Project Number 159, stomachs of creeled cutthroat trout have been collected and seperated according to different sections of the river. The primary objectives of this project are to analyze the stomach contents in detail in an attempt to determine quite specifically the food preferences, relative availability of different food items, and the feeding patterns of the cutthroat trout in the Snake river. Project Number 160.
