Summary

Individual point estimates of stream density by juvenile salmonid species in two small tributaries to the Salmon River, Lake Ontario, New York were recorded. Enumeration of salmonid species was observed using a backpack electrofisher in order to identify fish species. Stream density estimates were calculated using stream width measurements taken at equally spaced transects. Comparisons of species densities between the two streams were analyzed to infer competition or segregation.

Purpose

Data was collected annually in order to provide insight to the production of juvenile salmonids in two tributaries to the Salmon River, Lake Ontario that have been historically high. Evaluation of density estimates for juvenile salmonids in these two streams has not been determined up to this point. This new information may help state managers infer trends in salmonid production in other cold-water streams across the landscape.
