β¦ Synopsis
The 12 fish species living in three temporary streams in Southern Ontario, Canada, during 1973-1974, are listed. Environmental parameters are recorded together with details of the abundance, distribution, age structure, growth, reproduction and food of t h e more common species. These species are thought to be either physiologically very tolerant, or to be capable of temporal or spatial migrations. Colonization of temporary streams bestows benefits in terms of plentiful invertebrate food, although resource sharing may occur, earlier spring breeding and reduced predation.
