- dataset_eml_methoddescription: Efforts were made to seek out and sample all littoral habitat types at each lake- silt-muck, sand, gravel-cobble-rock, organic detritus, logs and submergent and emergent vegetation. The littoral zone was sampled because it should yield the greatest number of species, the most valued fish food organisms, is less influenced by other natural limiting factors than the profundal zone, and was a zone common to all the lakes.

dataset_eml_methodsEndDate: 1995-10-01 - dataset_eml_methoddescription: Stream fish populations were sampled by electroshocking at six sites on four streams: 2 sites each on Lye and Bourn Brooks and 1 site each on Branch Pond Brook and Winhall River. Surveys were done during August and September. Stream sections were representative of the physical habitat in each of the overall stream reaches. General physical characteristics were recorded at each site. Water temperature and specific conductance were taken during each sampling event.

dataset_eml_methodsEndDate: 1995-10-03 - dataset_eml_methoddescription: Fish were sampled in an upstream direction using block nets at some sites. At sites where no nets were used, the upper end of the section was located at the foot of a cascade which acted as a barrier to fish attempting to escape the electric field.
