An
t-

investigation
-
of fish
distribution,
abundance,
and species
composition
in the
East
Fork
of Shoal
Creek
was initiated
in
September
19iB in an
effort
to
assess
the
impact
of thermal
enrichment
on
the fish
community.
Species
composition
of
the
East
Fork
ichthyof
auna
was found
to
be
sini'lar to.that r-eported
previously
f
rom
the
area.

Anticipatetl
occurrences

wou'ld
not
exert,a
lethal impact
upon exposetl
fishes,
but
may alter time
and/or
duration
of
spawning
activities
and
rate
of
development
rluring
early
life.
It is unlikely,
however,
that
the
sur,rival
capa-
city
of the
strearn
populations
would be
jeoparrJized
unless
critical spawning
grounds
were
regularly
'inundated
with
excess
heat.
A

occurrence
of thermal
enrichment
may elevate water

Ievels,
but
such
an event
presumably
would represent

Creek's
East
Fork, the
potenLial
has
existed
for
occasional

of
the
area
imnediately
below
the

Frequency
of occrrrrence, magnitucie,
and
rluration
of thermal

in
the

cannot be
predicted
with
certainty
since'those

temperature
0ccur
at
irrcgular
intervals.
Tlre
release
of
thermal
effluents
from
the
lake
is
ultimately
regulated
by
water
level;
it
must
erceed'590

elevation
(above

)
in
order
to

Beyond
that
initial
requirement,
the
cdpacity
of

in'the
