Walker CA. 2003. Effects of Antimycin treatment on Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Sams Creek and Starkey Creek, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Blount/Sevier Counties, Tennessee
The fish toxiant antimycin was applied to Sams Creek and Starkey Creek in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Blount/Sevier counties, Tennessee to eradicate non-native rainbow trout (Oncorhyncus mykiss). Benthic macroinvertebrate samples were taken at nine sites inside and outside the treatment zone before and after treatment to determine what effects antimycin had on the macroinvertebrate community.
