Purpose

These data were collected to assess spatial variation in stream temperatures and fish growth in experimental enclosures to evaluate the feasibility of sculpin restoration into a stream where they have been extirpated (upper Big Hunting Creek, Maryland USA). Analysis of these data will be provided in a USGS Open-File Report.
