Geodatabase Containing Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus) Information from the Upper Boise River, Southwestern Idaho

Bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus), listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, are among the more thermally sensitive of coldwater species in North America.

The presence of the species in Arrowrock Reservoir poses implications for dam and reservoir operations.
