· Prog. Fish-Cult.; (United States)
The influence of two environmental factors, stream flow and water temperature, on the downstream movement of four fish species in the Big Garlic River over a 12-yr period is described. Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) migrated after floods had subsided in the spring and during rising water in the fall at temperatures of about 10/sup 0/C. Brook sticklebacks (Culaea inconstans) moved downstream chiefly in winter. Mottled sculpins (Cottus bairdi) moved primarily in the winter and during floods. Yellow perch (Perca flavescens) appeared to move generally in the fall as water levels increased and water temperatures decreased.
