Hello all,
I am conducting research for a senior thesis for college on trout stocking in Pennsylvania and for the life of me, cannot figure this out.
Trout biomass is measured in lbs/acre or kg/ha. How exactly is the acre or hectare calculated for streams? Is it simply the surrounding watershed area?
Also, how are different stream sections designated as different classes of wild streams? Is it the area from the bank of the stream up to the edge of the watershed that exclusively drains that area and excludes the watershed area above this specific section of stream?
I would appreciate any help you all can give.
Thanks,
Willie
