摘要天然气钻探到马塞勒斯页岩地层的扩展是一个新兴的威胁，以保护和恢复本地溪鳟鱼（红点鲑）种群。改进的钻井和开采技术（水平钻井和水力压裂）使马塞勒斯页岩上覆地区的天然气开发迅速而广泛。水力压裂的扩大对地表沃茨构成了多重威胁，这可能与限制溪鳟种群的关键生态属性有关。在这里，我们扩大目前的概念模型，以确定三个潜在的途径之间的地表水威胁与增加天然气开发和生活史属性的溪鳟：水文，物理和化学的风险。我们的目标是突出渔业科学家的研究需求，并与资源管理人员合作，以影响保护溪鳟栖息地和解决马塞勒斯页岩气的战略的发展。
Abstract Expansion of natural gas drilling into the Marcellus Shale formation is an emerging threat to the conservation and restoration of native brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) populations. Improved drilling and extraction technologies (horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing) have led to rapid and extensive natural gas development in areas overlying the Marcellus Shale. The expansion of hydraulic fracturing poses multiple threats to surface waters, which can be tied to key ecological attributes that limit brook trout populations. Here, we expand current conceptual models to identify three potential pathways of risk between surface water threats associated with increased natural gas development and life history attributes of brook trout: hydrological, physical, and chemical. Our goal is to highlight research needs for fisheries scientists and work in conjunction with resource managers to influence the development of strategies that will preserve brook trout habitat and address Marcellus Shale ga...
