Fish Habitat Model: Coastal Cutthroat trout
This parameter can be calculated within individual NetMap datasets; the model was developed by Brett Holycross and Kitty Griswold, for additional information, contact BHolycross@psmfc.org or griskitt@isu.edu.
Parameter Description: Reach-specific values for each characteristic are converted to habitat suitability scores through functions (“suitability curves”) which convert the value of each variable to a score of 0-1, 0 being completely unsuitable and 1 being the most suitable. Reach-specific IP is calculated as the geometric mean of reach-specific suitability scores for each of the three characteristics. DRAFT IP for Coastal Cutthroat Trout (CCT) models suitable habitat for the juvenile life-stage.
