| Abstract | The fishes of Upper Klamath Lake appeared to distribute themselves in three general groups during the summers of 1964 and 1965: (1) the chubs--unrestricted as to distribution with slight seasonal variations; (2) rainbow trout and yellow perch -- restricted to certain water conditions that exist only along the northern marsh and spring areas of the lake; (3) the brown bullhead and sculpins -- and possibly suckers -- partially restricted by water conditions and shoreline habitat. The limnological conditions favorable for the above distributions prevail from May until early October at which time the water temperature, nuisance algal populations and pH values are all decreasing, creating favorable conditions for all previously restricted species throughout the entire lake. |
