Population Abundance Estimates Sample Clauses

Population Abundance Estimates. Oregon chub population estimates will be obtained annually. Minnow traps, measuring 23 x 46 centimeters with 6.4-millimeter mesh, will be used to capture fish for marking. The traps will be baited with a half slice of bread and set for up to 18 hours. A subsample of the fish collected in the traps will be measured, given a partial upper caudal fin clip, and returned to the water. This procedure will be repeated for several days. Each subsequent day all unmarked fish will be marked and all previously marked fish will be counted in the sample. Population estimates will be made each day and the ratio of the number marked to the total estimate will be compared to determine the approximate percentage of the total population that was marked. Marking will continue until approximately 15 percent of the Oregon chub population is marked. All fish will be returned to the water. Population size will be estimated using single-sample xxxx-recapture procedures (Xxxxxx 1975). To calculate population abundance, the total number of marked fish will be used, and the catch and recaptures from the last sample date.
