Examining how migratory fishes use habitat restored by dam removal (Little River) Graduate Research Assistant: Josha Raabe The overall goal of this project is to determine how fish are utilizing upstream habitat made available due to three dam removals since 1998. Specific project objectives are to determine fish abundance, migratory patterns, and deposition of eggs and production of larvae relative to physical variables and habitat availability. This information can be used to refine and develop models that predict the impacts of dam removals on other river systems.
