Notes
Park Species Detail: Per Kevin Bestgen, LFL Director, Feb 2006: Bonytail have only recently been collected again (2002) and all appear stocked. Past investigators have collected them many years ago, but those were likely wild fish that have been extirpated., Park Species Data Source: Dinofish.xls converted by I&M
