Temporal and spatial hydrodynamic variability in a gravel-bed river:measurement, characterisation, and significance for spawning salmonids

The spatial and temporal flow field characteristics of a gravel-bed river supporting a robust rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) fishery were studied in high resolution in attempts to hydraulically quantify the selection preferences and incubation characteristics of...
