- Title
HOT WATER, DRY STREAMS: A TALE OF TWO TROUT.
- Authors
Tuholske, Jack R.
- Abstract
The article explores the potential effects of climate disruption on the Bonneville cutthroat trout and bull trout, which are essential to the economy of western fisheries in the U.S. It notes that the bull trout are not actually trout, rather are a species of cold water salmonids more common in Arctic climates. It mentions that the Bonneville cutthroat trout is one of 14 subspecies of native cutthroat trouts that inhabits the western part of the U.S. It states that human-caused habitat alteration, including stream dewatering dams and diversions are the main cause of their decline. It looks at the initiatives taken by the federal government including the protection of water resources and in-stream fishery protection.
