Primary Categories of Fish Habitat in Lakes
Physical Structure Water QualityProperties• vegetation• woody habitat• substrate
Properties• sedimentation• epiphytic algae• hypolimnetic oxygen• regime shifts
Primary Disturbance DriversShoreline disturbance from development
Watershed disturbance from urbanization and agriculture

lakes• Determine and model local habitat impacts• Develop and test model to predict effects of
shoreline development on fish
