Water temperature is a significant determinant of stream fish distribution due to its impact on fish metabolism, reproduction, and behavior. Because stream thermal regimes are susceptible to warming due to anthropogenic influence, stream temperature is an important focus of surface water quality regulation. The goal of thermal regulation is to maintain a thermal regime suitable for aquatic life. This goal is achieved by identifying and preventing surface water warming that would result in acute or chronic deleterious effects on fish individuals or populations. In this thesis, I use laboratory-derived upper thermal thresholds of Wyoming fish species alongside field-derived data on the same species' average thermal distributions to propose a revised surface water temperature standard for the State of Wyoming. To develop this proposed standard, I cluster all Wyoming fish species into five thermal management tiers and develop an acute and chronic numeric criterion for each tier. I also compare three stream classification approaches and identify an approach based on modeled stream temperatures as that which achieves the best balance between protection of fishes from thermal impairment and attainability of thermal criteria under Wyoming's natural thermal regime. Finally, I compile the species-specific thermal threshold values that were used in my analyses into a database to serve as a reference for future temperature tolerance research.
