Survival, Movement Dynamics, Distribution, and Habitat and Species Associations of Juvenile Burbot in a Tributary of the Kootenai River
Burbot Lota lota in the lower Kootenai River have been the recent focus of extensive conservation efforts, particularly the release of juvenile Burbot into small tributaries. Since 2012, approximately 12,000 juvenile Burbot have been released into Deep Creek, a small tributary of the Kootenai River....
