Summary
This SSP project resulted in a final report that addressed two objectives: (1) to develop nonbiased methods for estimating stream-fish distribution and abundance and (2) to develop a prioritized GIS inventory of manmade culverts, dams, and other structures impeding fish passage in priority sub-watersheds of the Upper Coosa Basin. These data were collected to assist the Service and Partners in better protecting and recovering the six listed fish, 6 listed mussels, and other rare species in the Upper Coosa Basin. The report included a publication: Price, A.L. and J.T. Peterson. 2010. Estimation and Modeling of Electrofishing Capture Efficiency for Fishes in Wadeable Warmwater Streams.
