Table 5. Measurement metrics.

Phosphate Nitrate Aquatic Invertebrates Target Fish Fish Assemblage
Total = 5 Total = 2 Abundance = 7 Abundance = 22 Abundance = 2
Dissolved = 4 Dissolved = 7 EPT abundance = 6 CPUE = 2 Biomass = 1
Particulate = 1 Particulate = 1 % EPT = 2 # of redds = 1 Composition = 7
SRP = 2 Diversity = 4 Size = 1 Diversity = 9
MRP = 1 Richness = 7 Richness = 6
HBI score = 2 IBI = 2

Multiple metrics were used to measure the same parameter in before-after dam-removal studies. For each metric, the type of measurement reported is listed, followed by the number of dam removals using each metric. SRP–soluble reactive phosphorus; MRP–Molybdate reactive phosphorus; EPT–Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera assemblage; HBI–Hilsenhoff biotic index; IBI–Index of biotic integrity.
