Seasonal variations in fish assemblages of small warmwater streams in four southeastern national parks
Zimmerman JC. 2007. Seasonal variations in fish assemblages of small warmwater streams in four southeastern national parks. University of Tennessee
Small warm-water streams in the southeastern United States experience significant differences in temperature, as well as changes in physical parameters due to seasonal fluctuations. It has been generally thought that fish assmeblage patterns change as a direct result of these seasonal variations. This study was desigend to determine the effects of variable flow regimes on fish species composition, diversity, and abundance. Eight small warm-water streams in four national parks(CHCH, FODO, ABLI, and RUCA) were sampled May-June 2005 for the summer trials, October-November 2005 for the fall trials, and April 2006 for the spring trials.
