“…In Appalachia, salmonids must cope with periodically poor feeding conditions (Cada et al 1987;Ensign et al 1990;Sweka 2003;Thome 2004) as well as occasional extreme environmental circumstances, such as drought and flooding (Carline and McCullough 2003;Hakala and Hartman 2004). The low productivity of Appalachian headwater watersheds, coupled with natural environmental variability, may affect the population dynamics and growth patterns of salmonids.…”

“…The eggs develop over the winter months and hatch from late winter to early spring. However, the life-cycle of brook trout is heavily influenced by the degree and timing of temperature changes [11,20]. High stream temperatures cause physical stress including slowed metabolism and decreased growth rate, adverse effects on critical life-cycle stages such as spawning or migration triggers, and in extreme cases, mortality [7,[21][22][23][24].…”

“…While temperature is often cited as the limiting factor for brook trout, the flow regime has considerable importance [33]. Alteration of the flow regime can result in changes in the geomorphology of the stream, the distribution of food producing areas as riffles and pools shift, reduced macroinvertebrate abundance and more limited access to spawning sites or thermal refugia [20,34,35]. Reductions in flow have a negative effect on the physical condition of both adult brook trout and young-of-year.…”
