Title	Assessment of COWFISH for predicting trout populations in grazed watersheds of the Intermountain West.
Creator	Contor, Craig R.
Contributor	Platts, W.S.
Description	COWFISH (Lloyd 1986) is a model designed to estimate livestock impacts on stream-riparian features and to estimate impacts on fish abundance and fisheries economic values. COWFISH is listed as a working model by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)(USDI-EPA 1987). The COWFISH model, developed and applied in selected Montana streams, was tested on 14 streams in Idaho, Nevada, and Utah, where it proved to have little value for predicting numbers of trout in watersheds grazed by livestock. The model holds promise for estimating the health of stream channels and riparian complexes.
