The surf or silver smelt at Kalaloch on the 

 coast and in the Port Townsend and Dungeness area support 

 an important commercial and sport fishery.

Some of the water-quality factors affecting 

 fish, shellfish and other aquatic life are temperature, 

 dissolved oxygen, siltation, turbidity (light penetration), 

 nutrient concentrations, and toxic materials. For example, 

 bloassay's indicate adverse ecological conditions within
