Detailed Description
Maps showing predicted occurrence for the four species of interest in 2016. BRT = Brook Trout, NHS = Northern Hog Sucker, SMB = Smallmouth Bass, TRS = Torrent Sucker. NA infers reach was outside modeling extent for that species.
- Brook Trout (BRT) predicted to smaller system in the NAP and SAPNW
- Northern Hog Sucker (NHS) predicted for most stream sizes in CBW except CPL
- Smallmouth Bass (SMB) - predicted for all stream in CBW except CPL
- Torrent Sucker (TRS) – predicted for smaller habitats in HUC8 in the southwest portion
