Fish Populations, Following a Drought, in the Neosho and Marais des Cygnes Rivers of Kansas

"Fish Populations, Following a Drought, in the Neosho and Marais des Cygnes Rivers" by James E. Deacon is a scientific report that explores the effects of a harsh drought, which lasted from 1952 to 1956, on the kinds and amounts of fish living in the Neosho and Marais des Cygnes rivers in Kansas. This research looks into how the drought changed the rivers' habitats and how different types of fish adapted, examining the relationships between the fish, their environment, and the study's methods of collecting data. The study provides early information on the drought's effects on the fish, setting the stage for a more thoughtful look at the health and ability of the fish populations to bounce back in challenging environmental situations.
