A review and evaluation of historical and recent survey data indicate that acidification and the disappearance of fish from some Adirondack waters does not appear to be caused solely by acid rain. Factors that can also cause acidification or reduce fish stocks include certain intolerable environmental conditions, certain fisheries management and recreational fishing activities, and changes in land-use activities. The principal fisheries management factors alternative to acid precipitation that may affect the status of Adirondack fish stocks involve dependence of numerous waters upon annual stocking, availability of adequate numbers of health fish from the hatchery, damaging effects of pesticide programs, negative influence of beaver activities upon certain fish habitats, and adverse effects of such activities as heavy recreational fishing pressures. Separate abstracts were prepared for two articles selected for the Energy Data Base and Energy Abstracts for Policy Analysis. 120 references, 7 figures, 14 tables.
