Title: Grazing effects on stream habitat and fishes: Research design considerations: Journal: North American Journal of Fisheries Management; Authors: J. N. Rinne; Date: 1988; Summary: A four year study of a montane stream in New Mexico, from which cattle grazing had been excluded for 10 years, indicated that stream bank vegetation and stability were improved. Salmonids (Brown trout, Rio Grande trout, and hybrid trout) were more abundant in the ungrazed area, while nonsalmonids (Rio Grande chub and Rio Grande sucker) were more abundant in the grazed area. Natural variation in fish populations, combined with very low salmonid populations precludes statements that trout populations were enhanced by grazing removal in this study area. Overall, the results showed that fish po ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article
