ABSTRACT
During fall 2005 and spring 2006, habitat assessments and fish bioassessments were conducted at six sites on Five Mile Creek in Jefferson County, Alabama and two sites on nearby rural streams. Habitat scores and index of biotic integrity (IBI) scores for the fish communities were calculated for all sites. The Five Mile Creek sites all had IBI scores lower than those of the rural streams, suggestive of impairment. Impairment did not appear to result primarily from habitat degradation as the habitat scores for the Five Mile Creek sites were similar to those of the reference streams. The IBI and habitat scores for each of the Five Mile Creek sites were not ...
