    The small-trawl sampling effort in the lower brackish portion of the
    estuary began on 16 May and finished on 8 June.  We averaged 4 hours of
    detector on-time each sample day.  Detection results were disappointing:
    only 38 fish were detected.  One yearling Chinook salmon previously
    detected at Jones Beach on 24 May at 11 PM near low tide was
    subsequently detected 34.8 hours later in the lower estuary.  A wireless
    video link used between the underwater antenna and the tow vessel showed
    relatively few fish passing through the antenna relative to the large
    trawl system.  We spent 5 sample days along the south side of the ship
    navigation channel in water generally greater than 45 ft deep (sample
    depth 14 feet).  We spent 7 sample days along the north side of
    Desdamona Sands in water ranging from 25 to 35 ft deep.  We also
    conducted 5 sample cruises in this location at night (from about 6 PM to
    midnight).  We concluded that the small trawl system as developed, can
    be routinely and safely used in the lower estuary.  The antenna and
    related electronics worked well in salinity ranging to at least 17%.
    However, the collection net is quite small relative to the size of the
    lower estuary.
