Title Effects of Fine Sediment, Hyporheic Flow, and Spawning Site Characteristics on Survival and Development of Bull Trout Embryos
Creator Budy, Phaedra E. Bowerman, Tracy Neilson, Bethany T.
Description Successful spawning is imperative for the persistence of salmonid populations, but relatively little research has been conducted to evaluate factors affecting early life-stage survival for bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus), a threatened char. We conducted a field experiment to assess the relationship between site-specific environmental factors and bull trout embryo survival and fry emergence timing. Survival from egg to hatch was negatively related to percent fine sediment (mm) in the redd...
