Materials, energy, and organisms from groundwater serve as resource subsidies to lotic systems. These subsidies influence food production and post-emergent fish growth and condition through nutrient inputs and water temperature changes. To test whether post-emergent fish grew faster in gaining sites, we grew hatchery post-emergent salmon in enclosures, sampled periphyton, benthic invertebrates and wild salmon, and modeled fish growth across a gradient of groundwater-surface water exchange. Fish grew almost twice as fast in gaining (2.7 % g d
