Log of Changes:	Log of changes: Chris Harvey corrected original gopher file, which included many fish that were tagged once but not recaptured. 486 Yellow was added to the growth file. Several fish had switched zones between captures or had missing weight data; these fish were invalid for growth data and were removed from the file. December 12, 1995.

TAXONOMIC COVERAGE:
Organisms studied

Methods:	The response of fish to fertilization was determined by monitoring adult grayling from control and fertilized river reaches. Adult and juvenile fish within a 1-1.5 km zone in each section were weighed, measured, tagged and released. Calculations: Variable Formula LCHANGE RECAPL-LENGTH WTCHANGE RECAPWT-WEIGHT Sampling Description. None
