Paul Cuplin, Carl L. Armour, Raymond V. Corning, Donald A. Duff, Arthur L. Oakley

This technical note presents fisheries and aquatic inventory and analysis strategies not available in other Bureau of Land Management documents. The objectives of the technical note are threefold: first to provide sampling strategies for stream, microinvertebrate and fish surveys; second to identify minimal data needed for stream and lake surveys, and water chemical analysis; and third to present methods for analysis and description of existing aquatic habitat conditions for planning and environmental statements.
