Body
Taylor et al. concluded that the removal of cattle from Ash Springs and Browne Springs caused a healthy rebound of the fish population in that stream. They had predicted that cattle were introducing harmful bacteria into the stream system, as well as high amounts of ammonia and nitrites. Once the cattle were removed from Ash springs, fish numbers climbed back to their pre-cattle numbers within the same year of cattle removal.
