Notes

  • For British Columbia streams.
  • Focused on species that rear for one summer in freshwater before outmigration.
  • Authors reflect that lab-based temperature impact analysis does not reflect field conditions, particularly daily variation (diel variation) and selection of cold-water refugia.
  • They propose methods for processing stream temperature data to describe relative risk focusing on a metric that is the mean between mean weekly average temperature and the seven day average of daily maximum as an indicator of risk to fish.
