Numerous factors may be contributing to the decline of these fish populations including hydraulic alterations (impoundment; altered thermal and hydrological regimes), non-native species interactions and contaminants. An assessment of the physical (temperature, substrate, ultraviolet [UV] radiation), biological (macroinvertebrates), and chemical factors (metals, polycyclic hydrocarbons, other water quality factors) was conducted to determine whether these factors could be limiting populations at six sites within the San Juan River and at one site in Los...
