University of Idaho Experimental Forest West Hatter Creek Fish Population Survey Item Info

The University of Idaho Experimental Forest consists of over 28 km^2 of land located northeast of Moscow, Idaho, administered by the University of Idaho College of Natural Resources. Five major streams are found on the Experimental Forest, and include Big Meadow Creek, Flat Creek, East Hatter Creek, West Hatter Creek, and Long Creek. Several of these streams supported fishes in the early 20th century (Harold Osborne, University of Idaho Experimental Forest Manager, Personal Communication). However, events within the last century, such as damage from railroad camps, the loss of beavers, cattle grazing, and construction of the Village of Troy Reservoir on Big Meadow Creek, have impacted fish populations. Fish may be observed on the Experimental Forest, but no known studies have been conducted to determine the species and populations present. The purpose of this study was to assess community composition and abundance of University of Idaho Experimental Forest streams. The study was limited to West Hatter Creek as a result of the summer 2001 drought, which resulted in streams such as Big Meadow Creek and Flat Creek not running water during the fall. Time constraints prohibited me from surveying East Hatter Creek and Long Creek. The results of the West Hatter Creek fish population survey are presented here
