<br />. <br /> <br />* * * DRAFT * * * <br /> <br />UCRBCOMM 12 FEB 8:5 <br /> <br />DEFICIENCY J: The model is a theoretical habitat model; it is untested in its <br />ability to predict important biological parameters that might be indices of the <br />status of populations of endangered species (e;s.. relative abundance of larvae <br />and other age-O life stages. relative abundance of adults). We must identify <br />approaches to testing/validating the model usinS meaninsful biological indices. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: Testing/validation of the model requires testing of the <br />following hypothesis: model output (e.g.. predicted quantities of certain <br />important habitats) is directlY,related to important biological indices of the <br />populations of the endangered fishes (e,g" relative densities of age-O fish. <br />of adult fish). <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: Data/research needed to test the above hypothesis include the <br />following: <br /> <br />1:5 <br />
