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.
