Generalized criteria for winter habitat selection by fishes in natural, coldwater streams, listed in order of relative importance water temperatures is probably a low-priority criterion for selection of winter habitat for most stream species (Table 1). Stream fishes use different strategies for overwintering, depending on the species, life stage, and the availability of suitable habitats in the system (Table 3). Mackay 1979; Prowse and Gridley 1993) and increasing evidence of movement by stream fishes in winter (Chisholm et al. important low water velocity refugia and instream cover, conditions preferred by many stream fishes in winter (see above). ./cache/work_y7njd6ynrzespdgk4vh6jgbtyy.pdf ./txt/work_y7njd6ynrzespdgk4vh6jgbtyy.txt
