Habitat preferences and movements of non-native rainbow trout
In many coldwater rivers and streams around the world, nonnative trout have altered the aquatic ecosystem. In the late 1800s, widespread trout stocking became commonplace and various trout species were […]
Adding wood to streams benefits brook trout
Trout fishing is a popular pastime around the world. Most trout species are known to put up a good fight on the line and are valued for their table fare. […]
The importance of macroinvertebrates in freshwater streams
Clean water is vital for maintaining healthy aquatic habitats. As areas become more developed, the impacts can be seen on the water quality of freshwater ecosystems. When it rains, pollutants […]
Spawning sea lampreys influence macroinvertebrate communities in streams
Sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) are a jawless species of fish native to the northern Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. They have a complex life cycle that begins and ends in […]
Protecting native brook trout by isolating them from brown trout
In many coldwater streams in North America, nonnative trout are replacing native trout populations through hybridization, competition, and predation. Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis; Figure 1) are a species native to […]
Brown trout use restored stream habitat during winter
Due to degraded habitat and poor water quality throughout North America, stream restoration projects are becoming increasingly widespread. These projects frequently focus on restoring riparian and stream habitat, stabilizing streambanks […]
What do groundwater seeps and brown trout have in common?
Imagine diving into a cool body of water after exercising or working in hot weather. This is an example of behavioral thermoregulation—changing your actions in order to influence your body […]
