Huge Water Storage Reservoirs And Fish Population Dynamics
Idaho Fish-Game notes reservoirs behind large dams create ample water but fishing success depends on factors beyond size. After barrier construction water temperature, velocity and turbidity shift, impacting trout and warm water species development and potentially enabling undesirable carp or squawfish surges.
Water turnover and seasonal drawdowns affect reservoir ecology
The article explains how semi annual turnover equalizes reservoir temperatures to about 39 degrees, supporting plankton and fish food, while drawdowns remove upper layers and wreck rainbow trout and bass feeding. It notes poor heat conduction, the thermocline, and the impact on river salmon fingerlings and migratory instincts.
