TAXONOMIC COVERAGE:
Organisms studied

Methods:	The response of fish to fertilization was determined by collecting larval grayling from control and fertilized river reaches. Approximately every 10 days, larvae were collected from each section using dip nets. They were taken to the field laboratory for length (TL in inches) and wet weight (g) measurements. All larvae not killed when captured were held until their guts were cleared before being weighed. Notes: None Reference Citations: ®PG¯ Sampling Description. None
