TAXONOMIC COVERAGE:
Organisms studied

Methods:	The response of fish to fertilization was determined by collecting larval grayling from control, recovery and fertilized river reaches. Approximately every ten days, larvae were collected using dip nets. YOY were brought back to camp, weighed and measured, then brought back to the creek and the locations from which they came.
