The flow regime of a stream affects the structure, composition, and productivity of fish communities by regulating abiotic habitat conditions and biotic community processes. In the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GRSM), native brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) populations have declined in some watersheds over the past decade, believed to be primarily due to episodic acidification. The potential affects long-term hydrologic patterns, temporal hydrologic trends, and hydrologic extremes have on brook and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations were explored in this study. The current GRSM fish sampling program began nearly two decades ago; a total of 69 streams, including 369 sites, are routinely sampled by GRSM fisheries biologists with standard methods. Detailed data is collected on the trout populations. The Nature Conservancy{\textexclamdown}{\textasciimacron}s Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) was used to quantify the flow regime of each stream into 67 ecological relevant parameters. Because the trout sites were located in remote ungaged streams, the Hydrologic Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) was used to simulate flows at each trout site for a study period lasting 18 years (1990-2007). Using local climate data the model was calibrated by adjusting parameters including storage, infiltration, runoff, and ground water for three elevation classes (low < 800 m {\textexclamdown}{\"U} middle {\textexclamdown}{\"U} 1,200 m < high) to observed stream flows from two USGS gaging stations and one NPS gaging station. The parameters defined by IHA included the a) magnitude, b) frequency, c) duration, d) time, and e) rate of change of hydrological events. IHAs were statistically compared to the surveyed trout populations. Results indicated the abundance of young-of-the-year (YOY) brook and rainbow trout significantly declined after extreme floods and droughts. In particular, low-flows during droughts significantly reduced recruitment for both brook and rainbow trout, which is likely due to decreased spawning habitat. Brook trout populations in larger low-elevation streams showed more stability compared to smaller headwater streams. The study provided GRSM resource managers a calibrated hydrology model with unique flow parameters characterizing GRSM watersheds, and possible influences hydrologic conditions may have on trout populations.}, keywords = {Fishes -- Habitat, Trout, Water quality, Watersheds, Wildlife management}, url = {http://trace.tennessee.edu/utk_gradthes/484/}, author = {Parker, Joseph Michael} } @mastersthesis {5821, title = {Stream Restoration Assessment of Abrams Creek in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Management Implications and Comparison of Empirical and Analytical Physical Assessment Approaches}, year = {2007}, month = {December}, school = {University of Tennessee}, type = {Masters of Science}, address = {Knonxville, TN}, abstract = {Natural resource managers in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park requested the assistance of the University of Tennessee Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering to assess Abrams Creek for potential stream restoration needs. A presumed, unstable study reach and a stable reference reach were identified on Abrams Creek in Cades Cove. Chemical, biological and physical assessments were completed on Abrams Creek in order to evaluate ecological health and channel stability of the stream. Water quality and ecological (fish and habitat surveys) data acquired by National Park Service, Tennessee Valley Authority and the University of Tennessee were assessed. The physical assessment included two approaches; they were: 1) empirical or reference reach approach; and 2) analytical or non-reference reach approach. The current empirical technique used was the analog Natural Channel Design. The current analytical techniques were the hydraulic, sediment transport and erosion models (HEC-RAS, CONCEPTS). These physical assessment techniques were used to determine bankfull or effective flows, sedimentation, stream stability, and ecohydraulics. In addition to using these techniques for the Park{\textquoteright}s management objectives, they were applied to both reaches for comparison in order to clarify areas where professional judgment may introduce uncertainty. From comprehensive physical assessments no system wide instabilities were observed but some riparian area differences and localized erosion were noted. Recommendations for potential restoration needs on Abrams Creek include localized stabilization of stream banks and vegetating the riparian corridor along the study reach.}, keywords = {Abrams Creek, Fishes -- Habitat, Preservation and restoration, Water quality}, url = {http://trace.tennessee.edu/utk_gradthes/268/}, author = {Carter, Daniel L} } @article {10398, title = {Going Native}, journal = {National Parks}, volume = {75}, year = {2001}, month = {July/August}, pages = {30-33}, keywords = {Fishes -- Habitat, Habitat models, Trout, Wildlife management}, url = {http://books.google.com/books?id=XDLyZFRDGVQC\&pg=PA30\&dq=national+parks+magazines\&source=gbs_toc_r\&cad=2$\#$v=onepage\&q\&f=false}, author = {Wuerthner, George} } @mastersthesis {6718, title = {Effects of Rainbow Trout Removal on Trout Populations and Food Habits in Great Smoky Mountains National Park}, year = {1987}, school = {University of Tennessee}, type = {Master of Science}, address = {Knoxville, TN}, keywords = {Fishes -- Habitat, Rainbow trout, Trout}, url = {http://trace.tennessee.edu/utk_gradthes/2529/}, author = {Habera, James W} } @mastersthesis {7388, title = {Comparison of Microhabitat Selection and Diet of Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and Rainbow Trout (Salmo gairdneri) in a Great Smoky Mountains National Park Stream}, year = {1985}, school = {Western Carolina University}, type = {Masters of Science }, address = {Cullowhee, NC}, keywords = {Brook trout, Fishes -- Habitat, Rainbow trout, Trout}, author = {Lohr, Samuel C} } @conference {6237, title = {Evidence of Food Limitation in Trout Populations in Southern Appalachian Soft Streams}, booktitle = {American Fisheries Society 15th Annual Meeting}, year = {1985}, month = {September 8-12}, publisher = {American Fisheries Society}, organization = {American Fisheries Society}, address = {Sun Vlley, ID}, keywords = {Fishes -- Habitat, Trout}, author = {Cada, Glen F and Loar, James M and Cox, David K and Slae, Micheal J} } @mastersthesis {6986, title = {History and Distribution of Brook Trout in the Appalachian Region of Tennessee}, year = {1984}, month = {December}, school = {University of Tennessee}, type = {Masters of Science }, address = {Knoxville, TN}, keywords = {Brook trout, Fishes -- Habitat}, url = {http://trace.tennessee.edu/utk_gradthes/2526/}, author = {Bivens, Rick Dwain} } @article {6072, title = {Agency Draft Recovery Plan: Yellowfin Madton (Noturus flavipinnis) Taylor}, year = {1983}, note = {Maps}, month = {February}, institution = {U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service}, address = {Atlanta, GA}, keywords = {Fishes -- Habitat, Wildlife management, Yellowfin Madtom} } @book {6558, title = {Tennessee Valley Streams, Their Fish, Bottom Fauna, and Aquatic Habitat.
