Overview

This book examines the application of fish community characteristics to evaluate the sustainability and biological integrity of freshwaters. Topics discussed include perspectives on use of fish communities as environmental indicators in program development, collaboration, and forming partnerships; influence of specific taxa on assessment of the IBI; regional applications for areas where the ITI had not previously been developed; and specific applications of the ITI developed for coldwater streams, inland lakes, Great Lakes, reservoirs, and tailwaters.
