Water temperature affects fish by changing their metabolic rate, changing oxygen content of water, influencing hatching and development time, and influencing migration. Creating a more open forest in the water-producing zone can change water temperature in shallow, low-volume streams. Research is needed on how timber harvesting affects water temperature to produce guidelines to meet Federal Water Pollution Control standards for cold-water fish.
