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 1.5 km zone in each section were weighed, measured, tagged and released. Notes: One weir, located at 0.4 km, remained in place for entire summer. Placed weir at 3.5 km, but collapsed due to moss build-up. Calculations: Variable Formula LCHANGE RECAPL-LENGTH WTCHANGE RECAPWT-WEIGHT Reference Citations: 27 Sampling Description. None
