Abstract Tenkiller Reservoir became eutrophic between 1975 and 1986, primarily due to poultry litter practices in the watershed, resulting in rapid dissolved oxygen (DO) depletion in the meta- and hypolimnion. Depletion was driven largely by high riverine-zone algal production due to high phosphorus inflow and internal loading, and the subsequent plunging of riverine water to the meta- and hypolimnion. This process of DO depletion greatly reduced summer habitat for cool-water fish species. Optimal and suboptimal habitat for smallmouth bass (SMB) growth averaged only 10 and 25% of total reservoir volume, respectively, during mid-June to mid-September in 2005 and 2006. For walleye (WAL), acceptable (suboptimal) habitat was essentially absent (<1%) due to its lower temperature criterion. By contrast, habitat for both species was much greater in oligo-mesotrophic Broken Bow, a physically similar reference reservoir. Long-term catch rates for SMB and WAL during systematic surveys averaged 3-fold higher in Broken Bow, with greater acceptable DO–temperature habitat than in Tenkiller. Conversely, catch rates for largemouth bass, a warm-water species preferring eutrophic conditions, averaged 2-fold higher in Tenkiller than Broken Bow. These catch rate differences are consistent with the DO–temperature conditions available during the stratified period and the trophic states in these 2 reservoirs. Recovery of cool-water fish habitat in Tenkiller by ceasing poultry litter application is predicted to be slow. [Supplemental materials are available for this article.
