Description

"This study involves the rationales for: (1) investigation of freshwater inflow effects on South Texas estuaries and bays; (2) utilization of fish as indicators for optimal effects of these inflows; and (3) the use of metabolic and swimming rate techniques for the assessment of inflow effects independently of fishery and pollution effects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate stresses related to freshwater influxes on the coastal subadult to adult spotted seatrout or 'speckled trout' (Cynoscion nebulosus), which is highly valued for food and recreation"--Executive summary.
