| Name | ECO DATA: Upstream Changes in Fish Populations Following Impoundment of Sagehen Creek, California |
| Description | Fish populations were compared before (1952-1961) and after (1970-1972) construction of Stampede Reservoir in a mile of Sagehen Creek above the reservoir. Relative abundance and species composition were quite different after reservoir construction. Suckers (Catostomus platyrhynchus and C. tahoensls) are now numerically dominant (79% of all fish); whereas, formerly they made up 18% (by numbers) of the fish composition. Rainbow trout have increased, but brown trout and whitefish have decreased; and brook trout have not been collected since impoundment. Reservoir construction is the only major change in the Sagehen Creek watershed. |
