Klamath Falls Field Station (KFFS)
Home
The Klamath Falls Field Station (KFFS) conducts research on rare and imperiled fishes in the Klamath Basin and the desert southwest. Staff at KFFS research life history, population dynamics, and ecological and anthropogenic stressors on fishes in lentic and lotic habitats. Research at the KFFS helps managers make informed decisions about resource use in sensitive and complex arid ecosystems.

Effects of harmful algal blooms and associated water-quality on endangered Lost River and shortnose suckers
Anthropogenic eutrophication contributes to harmful blooms of cyanobacteria in freshwater ecosystems worldwide. In Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, massive blooms of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae and smaller blooms of other cyanobacteria are associated with cyanotoxins, hypoxia, high pH, high concentrations of ammonia, and potentially hypercapnia...
