Abstract:: This report reviews and summarizes available information on aquatic biological communities in the Willamette Basin through 1995. Specifically, the report describes (1) the distribution, abndance, and trends of three taxonomic groups--algae, macroinvertebrates, and fish--and, to a lesser degree, other selected semi-aquatic taxa (i.e., taxa frequenting but not living wholly in...

Abstract:: Field investigations were implemented to study the interrelationships between streamflows and salmonid production during the summer-fall low flow period in two natural stream channels. Elk Creek, near Cannon Beach in Clatsop County, was the site selected for intensive investigation. Construction of streamflow control and diversion facilities was completed in November...
