At most of the 'tissis3ippi River stations bottom sample were tken in three different types of habitats; in weed. beds.with a.

..depth. of less than 4.5 foot, in areas bare of weeds with a ivater deptb.<

K of less than 4.5 fsot and in the river channel which was bare. of.weeds '

.nd had'a water depth of 4.5 to11 eoot.

As is shbo'n in the follovwing c.,

table., the densest bottom fauna population was found in th6 weed beas ri-".. in shalloyi wrater, the sparsost population on the bare gravel bottps O t.:the channel and an in"crmediate numbor on tho bare bottomninnbhallow:.*..*'^;<
