EBTJV Habitat News May 2025
-
The EBTJV is excited to welcome the Tennessee Aquarium as our newest MOU member, bringing us to 39
MOU partners. We share an interview with Stephanie Chance about the Conservation Institute’s response to a
2024 drought event, their recovery efforts for Laurel Dace and Brook Trout, and more.
Here for the research links? In addition to news clips, we’ve compiled a (definitely not exhaustive) list of
publications through mid-2024 related to Brook Trout population dynamics and distribution, genetics and
hatchery influence, ecological interactions, and pollution and environmental impacts.
Speaking of research, please join us in congratulating Vermont’s Jud Kratzer for his recent award on behalf of Vermont FWD for research on wood additions to northern VT streams. Every time we speak to Jud we learn a little more about this technique and its benefits to not just Brook Trout, but also fluvial function and ecosystem health. VFWD’s recent work, in partnership with TU, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and Weyerhaeuser Corporation, demonstrated how wood addition traps sediment and reduces sediment and nutrient loads
downstream.

Removal of Illegally Introduced and Missed Rainbow Trout from Lynn Camp Prong, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Tennessee
-
This project will remove the illegally introduced and missed rainbow trout from the Lynn Camp Prong Watershed in Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Once complete, the project will reconnect brook trout populations in three tributary streams thus eliminating fragmentation in this watershed. This reconnection of stream segments will result in the largest contiguous brook trout population in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

Brook Trout Restoration Lynn Camp Prong, Great Smokey Mountain National Park, Tennessee
-
The purpose of the project is to continue to restore the Southern Appalachian brook trout to a larger lower elevation stream within its historic range in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. To date, park biologists have restored 17.2 miles of historic range for brook trout. The successful completion of this project will add 8 miles to this total.
