Job No. B-18 Title: Basic Survey and Fish Inventory of the ; San Antonio River in Region -B. Period Covered: January 1, 1960 - December 31, 1960 OBJECTIVES To determine the physical, chemical and ecological conditions and the relative numbers of fish species present in the lower portions of the San Antonio River, lying within Wilson, Karnes, Goliad and Refugio Counties. PROCEDURE One and a half days were spent by the Project Leader and two field assistants inspecting several highway crossings of the San Antonio River in the vicinity of Goliad. Only one crossing was found where a boat could possibly be gotten down the bank. The Project Leader was ill, recovering from surgery, during most of the first half of the segment and almost continuous rains and floods during the second half prevented any further work. RESULTS One possible boat landing was found near Goliad. Dry weather over the watershed will be needed to do any field work. RECOMMENDATIONS This job should be continued through the next segment of the project. ! Prepared by Alvin Fl Approved by LAS tot Project Leader Director Inland Fisheries Division Date January 26, 1961
