Abstract
On 9 July 2002, while sampling a flowing segment of the North Fork Ninnescah River 10 km upstream from Cheney Reservoir, Reno County, Kansas, we observed and collected dead and dying specimens of 5 fish species. We attribute the fish kill to high water temperature, which reached 38.0°C on this day. Resumen El 9 de julio del 2002, mientras muestreábamos un segmento con corriente del río North Fork Ninnescah, 10 km río arriba de la presa Cheney, en el condado de Reno en Kansas, observamos y recolectamos cinco especies de peces moribundos y muertos. Atribuimos la muerte de los peces a la alta temperatura del agua registrada ese día, la cual alcanzó los 38.0°C.Keywords
