Book excerpt: Efforts to improve habitat for fish, particularly salmonids, have a long history and intervention is extensive and ongoing. Resource managers and practitioners spend considerable time and money implementing stream habitat projects. Installation of artificial habitat structures is a consistently popular approach. In this thesis I describe effects of artificial structures on stream morphology and fish density and highlight management implications. In the first chapter, I address the effects of habitat structures on stream morphology in a low-power system. Formal evaluations of the effects of habitat structures on stream morphology in low-power systems like the North Branch of the Au Sable River have been very limited relative to the popularity of these projects. I demonstrate that while artificial structures produce some desired habitat characteristics, their effects tend to be localized and may be outweighed by deposition. In the second chapter, I evaluate the relationship between the density of Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) and Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) relative to the density of artificial structures. While there are significant relationships for both species, responses are highly variable, and differ by species and size in relation to structure type. I also show the influence of stream context on relationships between fish and artificial structures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combined impacts of urbanization and winter conditions on stream ecosystems and their fish communities is an important area of study that has previously been unaddressed. Urbanized streams commonly exhibit low fish richness and are susceptible to species and diversity loss. Additionally, winter is a period of increased mortality for stream fishes due to physiological and environmental changes. To increase winter survival, fish need sufficient energy reserves, access to good winter habitat, and a decreased likelihood for high risk activities. This study assessed the interactive effects of urbanization and wintertime on brook and brown trout condition and movement. Over the course of two winters, two urban and two rural streams in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan were compared for fish condition and movement using electrofishing and telemetry. Significantly higher mean fish condition was seen in the urban streams for both brook and brown trout, in several size classes, during both winters. Higher mean fish condition was also seen during winter 2 for both brook and brown trout, in most size classes. Mean percentage of recaptured fish that showed movement was not significantly different between the urban and rural streams or between winters. This study suggests stream temperature, water velocity, and fragmentation may explain higher fish condition in urban streams.
