| Notes | “This investigation was undertaken to study the effects of a series of gabions located on East Fork Lobster Creek, Oregon . ..The main objective of this study was to determine the relative effects of selected environmental variables on the distribution of coho salmon in modified (gabion) and unmodified sites on East Fork Lobster Creek, Oregon. A second objective of this study was to characterize the microhabitats utilized by juvenile coho in terms of depth, velocity, and cover in selected gabion sites and in unmodified sites.” (p.1-3) M. S. thesis. An interesting look at the effects of watershed enhancements on young coho salmon, especially in the less often studied winter season. Includes color photographs of selected study sites. Major professor was Richard A. Tubb. |
