Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the horizontal and vertical distribution of juvenile salmonids in the upper section of Mayfield Reservoir, a man-made body of water in Washington state. The author's detailed study was conducted from April 1964 to June 1965, using gill nets and trawls to collect data on the distribution of juvenile coho salmon, chinook salmon, and rainbow trout. The findings suggest that most juvenile salmonids are found in the upper 10 meters of the reservoir, with their distribution influenced by physical factors such as water temperature, flow, and turbidity. The author discusses the implications of these findings for the design and placement of fish collection devices in reservoirs, and provides valuable insights into the behavior and ecology of juvenile salmonids in this type of environment. The book is well-written and accessible to a general audience, making it a valuable resource for fisheries biologists, ecologists, and anyone interested in the conservation and management of salmonid populations.
