The report, undertaken for the Water and Power Resources Service of Boulder City NV, intended to extend the current knowledge of this riverine system, with major emphasis being placed on fish, aquatic invertebrates, and plants. Field data and information from literature searches were integrated to provide an overview of the aquatic ecosystem within Grand Canyon National Park. This study will provide a baseline for further investigations of a more directed nature, as well as data to assess trends in the distribution and abundance of, especially, endangered fish species.
