  • Related Stream Factors on Patterns of Individual Summer Growth of Cutthroat Trout

Kershner U.S. Geological Survey, Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center, 2327 University Way, Suite 2, Bozeman, Montana 59715, USA Abstract Coldwater fishes are sensitive to abiotic and biotic stream factors, which can be influenced by climate. Distribu- tions of inland salmonids in North America have declined significantly, with many of the current strongholds located in small headwater systems that may serve as important refugia as climate change progresses. We investigated the effects of discharge, stream temperature, trout biomass, and food availability on summer growth of Yellowstone Cut- throat Trout Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri, a species of concern with significant ecological value. Individual size, stream discharge, sample section biomass, and temperature were all associated with growth, but had differing effects on energy allocation. Stream discharge had a positive relationship with growth rates in length and mass; greater rates of prey delivery at higher discharges probably enabled trout to accumulate reserve tissues in addition to structural growth.

    South Fork Horse Creek Fish Passage, Habitat Enhancement, and Entrainment Prevention Initial Project Assessment April 20, 2007 Prepared by: Carol Endicott MFWP Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Restoration Biologist Landowner Incentive Program 111 ½ North 3rd Street Livingston, MT 59047 South Fork Horse Creek Project Assessment March 2007 1.0 Introduction The Landowner Incentive Program/Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout project (LIP/YCT) assists private landowners seeking to improve habitat for Yellowstone cutthroat trout on their property. This report, or project assessment, documents preliminary evaluations for a potential project on South Fork Horse Creek, a small stream within a tributary drainage to the Shields River near Wilsall, Montana. The objectives of the project assessment are to describe relevant literature and data, describe existing conditions and potential, and provide recommendations to landowners. If landowners agree to proceed with conservation activities, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ Yellowstone cutthroat trout restoration biologist will provide technical, financial, and planning assistance to implement restoration activities on these private lands. 2.0 Project Background South Fork Horse Creek flows to the west from the foothills of the Crazy Mountains until its confluence its main stem, a tributary of the Shields River downstream from Wilsall (Figure 2-1). The property in question lies in T3N R9E Section 24, and encompasses a reach of South Fork Horse Creek that flows under Horse Creek Road in two locations (Figure 2-2).

  • The Yellowstone Your Guide to Conservation R E C R E a T I O N E D U C a T I O N R E S O U R C E S
    The Yellowstone Your Guide to Conservation R e c r e a t i o n E d u c a t i o n R e s o u r c e s presented by EXPERIENCE EcoBlu™ The Yellowstone - No Better Place “In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.” – Baba Dioum The legendary Yellowstone River is the view from the windows of our Paradise Valley, Montana, headquarters. For Trout Headwaters, sponsoring the river adventure film “Where the Yellowstone Goes” was a perfect fit. The film captures the magnificence and the spirit of the Yellowstone River along with the characters the small crew encounters as they float more than 600 miles in a hand-built drift boat. We believe this film will continue to advance understanding, love and, most importantly, conservation of this precious resource. Conservation is at the very core of our efforts at THI where we work to restore, renew and repair rivers, streams and wetlands. Whether you enjoy walking along the Yellowstone’s banks, resting a fly on its surface, or finding inspiration in the panoramic vistas, know that you, too, can contribute to the conservation of this national treasure. The Yellowstone – there’s no better place. -THI Trout Headwaters, Inc. TROUTHEADWATERS.COM 1 YELLOWSTONE RIVER VALLEY What’s in a Name?

Blythe A non-thesis project report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master’s in Geoscience: Hydrogeology Montana Tech of The University of Montana 2015 ii Abstract Water samples were collected from 33 domestic wells, 2 springs, and 3 streams in the Shields River Basin (Basin) in southwest Montana. Samples were collected in 2013 to describe the chemical quality of groundwater in the Basin. Sampling was done to assess potential impacts to water quality from recent exploratory oil and gas drilling and to establish baseline water quality conditions. Wells were selected in areas near and away from oil and gas drilling and in areas susceptible to contamination.
