Abstract
A 20-year study showed that forming a pond near the mouth of Ellerslie Brook, Prince Edward Island, did not change the seasonal pattern of brook trout movements between fresh- and salt water. Delay in movements of trout through the pond and a tidal pool below the dam resulted in heavy natural and angling mortalities in those areas. Movements between fresh- and salt water were almost eliminated. Natural seeding of stream above pond was not demonstrably affected.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
