^ Spot on.
Not to mention increased sedimentation, erosion, stream alteration, spawning habitat degredation, headwater logging, riparian destruction. To name a few.
Aside from rivers/streams being in much poorer condition than they used to be, native Bulls and Cutts also have to compete with Browns, Brookies and Rainbows (except Athabasca bows).
Low oxygen certainly can do some damage too. Sure cringed at some of the smaller streams these last few summers
