Spawning and early life-history characteristics of bull trout in a headwater-lake ecosystem
Tennant LB. 2010. Spawning and early life-history characteristics of bull trout in a headwater-lake ecosystem. National Park Service
Study that attempts to 1) characterize the spatial and temporal dynamics of bull trout spawning migrations and associate areas of high redd accumulation to abiotic factors; and 2) quantify abiotic factors on the distribution of subadult bull trout in tributary streams of Quartz Lake in Glacier NP.Bull trout spawning and rearing appears concentrated in lower Quartz Creek, an area of low gradient with a high percent of cobble and gravel substrates. Spawning began in late Sept and concluded mid October.
