Download or read book Proceedings of the National Workshop on Effects of Habitat Alteration on Salmonid Stocks written by Colin D. Levings and published by Fisheries and Oceans, Communications Directorate. This book was released on 1989 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National workshop convened to review the latest techniques available to quantify relationships between habitat features and fish production. The workshop focused on salmonids because of their importance on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, but effects on other non-salmonid populations were included since data is scarce in some areas. Coverage included methodologies for the quantification of the effects of habitat alteration on yield, empirical examples of the effects of physical and chemical habitat changes on stocks, and the permissable degree of extrapolation in assigning effects of habitat alteration to a stock.
