TAXONOMIC COVERAGE:
Organisms studied

Methods:	The response of fish to fertilization was determined by monitoring adult grayling from control and fertilized river reaches. In July, adult and juvenile fish within the control and fertilized zones were weighed, measured, tagged and released. Fish were recaptured in August to measure changes in weight and length. Notes: 1998 is the second consecutive year that Oksrukuyik Cr. has not been fertilized. Calculations: Variable Formula LCHANGE RECAPL-LENGTH WTCHANGE RECAPWT-WEIGHT Sampling Description. None
