Simulating Trout Feeding Stations in Instream Flow Models

  • Chapter
Regulated Streams

Abstract

In recent years the Physical Habitat Simulation (PHABSIM), a portion of the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM), has been widely used by fisheries biologists to model the relationship between stream flow (discharge) and fish habitat. PHABSIM, which is considered state-of-the-art (Loar et al. 1985), has two primary components: an hydraulic simulation and an habitat function (Stalnaker 1980; Bovee & Milhous 1978; Bovee 1982; Milhous et al. 1984).
