Notes | This dissertation looks at competition between two different species of freshwater fish, the redside shiner, and the steelhead trout. Water temperatures influenced fish behavior and helped determine which species was dominant in warmer or cooler waters. The social behavior and adaptive strategies of the two species are considered. The major professor was James D. Hall. |
