The addition of inorganic nutrients to increase fish production in the Mesilinka River, a northern interior river of British Columbia, is being investigated. Increased production of native fish stocks is desired to both offset negative impacts following the establishment of the Williston Reservoir and to meet increased angling demands for stream fisheries. We present results from the second year of fertilization (1995) to the mainstem Mesilinka River.

The addition of inorganic nutrients to increase fish production in the Mesilinka River, a northern interior river of British Columbia, is being investigated. Increased production of native fish stocks is desired to both offset negative impacts following the establishment of the Williston Reservoir and to meet increased angling demands for stream fisheries. We present results from the second year of fertilization (1995) to the mainstem Mesilinka River.Three reaches on the Mesilinka River (an upstream control reach, Blackpine, and two downstream treatment reaches, Tl and T2) and an additional external reference system (the Nation River) were established to test the effects of added nutrients to stream production.
