Nonpermanent Streams: Some Insights from the AFS Western Division

Cienna Hanson is a TCAFS member from the Texas Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit, Department of Natural Resources Management, Texas Tech University, in Lubbock.

Here are excerpts from the article:

On May 10, 2023, the AFS Western Division held a half- day symposium focused on nonperennial streams.  Attended by approximately 100– 150 persons and given the increasing importance of temporary streams and rivers, we felt it would be useful to provide some of the highlights for the entire Fisheries readership.

Cienna Hanson assessed the vulnerability and resilience of fish assemblages in four tributaries of the Colorado River basin, Texas, to drought- induced intermittent flows. Intermittent sites had lower fish- species richness (mean =    9.6 species; SD =    2.6) than perennial sites (mean =   13.6 species, SD =   1.2).
