This study combined fish, water quality, and watershed databases in order to determine what relationships exist between trout biomass and base flow water quality in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Quarterly base flow water quality data collected from 1993 to 2003 at 31 stream sites were used in step-wise multiple linear regression models to analyze brook and rainbow trout biomass (kg/ha).
