TAXONOMIC COVERAGE:
Organisms studied

Methods:	The response of fish to fertilization was determined by monitoring adult grayling from control and fertilized river reaches. In each river zone, adult and juvenile fish were weighed, measured, tagged and released in July. Fish were recaptured in August to measure changes in weight and length. Notes: One weir was located at 0.4 km. Calculations: Variable Formula LCHANGE RECAPL-LENGTH WTCHANGE RECAPWT-WEIGHT Sampling Description. None
