Occurrence
Not In Park
Occurrence Notes
Occurs in the Middle Fork Kaweah River just outside the Park boundary where an anthropogenic dam exists. Suspect that it occurred in the park historically, and there is a rumor that they may have been poisoned out (without authorization by Park) when Lake Kaweah was constructed.; Data Source: SEKI Wildlife Observations Database (SEKIWildlifeObs.mdb); Harold Werner, personal knowledge
