Synopsis

This book examines how water withdrawals from the Merced River for human use in Yosemite National Park impact the park's rainbow trout. The author, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service employee, details an extensive 14-month instream flow study conducted to assess these impacts. By studying the relationship between habitat availability and streamflow, the author sought to determine what flows are necessary to sustain the trout population. The book reviews the various species, life stages, and environmental requirements of the Merced River's rainbow trout to determine how different flow rates affect their preferred habitats, concluding with a set of flow recommendations designed to maintain a healthy trout population.
