- Abstract
Focuses on trout fisheries and the survival of trout during the winter in Wyoming. How researchers will understand the extent of overwinter trout losses and develop management strategies to avoid those losses; Fisheries included in the study to document trout population dynamics, assess physical habitat availability, evaluate trout movement and habitat selection, and understand the relationships between food availability and bioenergetic relationships; Results indicating that winter trout losses are extreme in some years, that trout movement and habitat selection are affected by supercooled flows, and that mortality is probably not directly due to starvation; View that the combination of physiological impairment with frequently altered habitat availability probably leads to indirect mortality from predators and other factors.
