• The chart displays the number of fish caught for each species, as well as the total number of visits. The fish
species represented are:
• Total Visits
• Trout
• Grayling
• Barbel
• Chub
• Dace
• Pike
• Minnow
• Perch
• Analysis:
• Dominant Species: Grayling is the most abundant fish species caught, with a count of 68. This is
the highest among all species, indicating that Grayling is the dominant fish in this location.
• Significant Minnow Population: Minnow also shows a substantial catch number of 62,
suggesting a healthy population of this small fish species in the area.
• Moderate Dace Population: Dace has a moderate catch number of 43, indicating a notable
presence of this species.
• Moderate Total Visits: The total number of visits is 47, which is a significant factor in
understanding the catch numbers.
• Lower Catch Numbers: Trout, Chubb, Pike, and Perch have relatively low catch numbers, ranging
from 18 to 2. Barbel has the lowest count with only 1. This suggests either lower populations of these species or that they are less frequently targeted by anglers.
• Observations and Interpretations:
• The data suggests that Stapleton is a location with a strong Grayling population, but also a
significant number of Minnows.
• The total visits are relatively moderate, suggesting a reasonable level of angling activity at this
location.
• The low catch numbers for some species, particularly Barbel, might indicate specific habitat
preferences or fishing pressure.
• The presence of Minnows as a dominant species indicates a potentially diverse and balanced
ecosystem.
