Description
Summary:M.S. Thesis by Kenneth E. Biesinger, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Fishery Management, Utah State University, 1961. Written under direction of Professor William F. Sigler. Typewritten, carbon copy, 92 single-sided pages. Includes illustrations and tables. Biologists have been concerned about the presence of longnose suckers and redside shiners and their effect on the cutthroat trout population in Yellowstone Lake. This investigation was made to determine the distribution and certain interactions of these species with cutthroat trout in Yellowstone Lake. The effects of the presence of lake chub and longnose dace are considered to a lesser extent.
