 W-^ Basin's most prominent fisli, esteemed 

 for economic, cultufal and even religious pur- 

 poses, but other native fish and wildlife are 

 critical, too. - 



Resident fish 



Resident fish, those that do not swim to 

 the ocean, suffered from 

 many of the same 



impacts as salmon. Dams blocked their 

 migrations, changed water temperatures, 

 inundated habitat with reservoirs, fragmented 

 habitat into smaller pieces and caused river 

 flows to fluctuate unnaturally. Because of 

 lower flows, sediment buiU up in spawning 

 beds.

 above Bonneville Dam is closed.
