duskytail darters onto Abrams Creek.
The fish are given time to adjust to their new environment before their release. The collection bags are placed in the creek for a time so that the fish can adjust to the temperature, as shown in the following photograph.
During this time, the scientists search the creek to find appropriate release sites.
