TAXONOMIC COVERAGE:
Organisms studied

Methods:	Background data was collected to compare growth of adult grayling from designated control and fertilized river reaches. In early July, two fish weirs which enclosed a 1 km stretch of the river were constructed in each zone. Adult fish within each section were weighed, measured, tagged and released. In August, tagged fish were recaptured to measure growth of individual fish. Wet weights are in grams, and were taken after holding the fish for 24 hours. Length is total length, using the bottom lobe of the caudal fin. Notes: none Calculations: Variable Formula LCHANGE RECAPL-LENGTH WTCHANGE RECAPWT-WEIGHT Sampling Description. None
