Excerpt from Effects of Gravel Morphology on Fine Sediment Accumulation and Survival of Incubating Salmon EggsThe main detrimental effect of fine sediment to fish habitat is due to the reduced permeability of gravel by water during the time of egg and fry development As fine sediment accumulates in streambed gravels, the flow of water is reduced and the ability of water to carry away embryo metabolic wastes is decreased In addition, fine sediment may form a physical barrier to emer gence of fry from subsurface gravels to surface waters (phillips 1971)About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
