| Description | Stream temperature has long been recognized as an important water quality parameter. Temperature plays a key role in the health of a stream's aquatic life, both in the water column and in the benthic habitat of streambed sediments. Many fish are sensitive to temperature. For example, anadromous salmon require specific temperature ranges to successfully develop, migrate, and spawn. Metabolic rates, oxygen requirements and availability, predation patterns, and susceptibility of organisms to... |
