<br />ABOUT PROCEEDINGS OF THE DESERT FISHES COUNCIL
<br />It is the policy of the Council to publish in the annual Proceedings of the Desert Fishes Council papers, abstracts,
<br />discussion summaries, business items, resolutions, and other material submitted for presentation, whether actually
<br />presented at the Annual Symposium or not. The Proceedings are published and delivered to all members of the
<br />Desert Fishes Council and subscribing libraries in the year following the Annual Symposium. All contributions are
<br />published as received following automated electronic processing designed to standardize format only. Authors are
<br />responsible for their own technical editing and for any errors caused by failure to follow Instructions to Authors
<br />(published in each volume). Proofs are not provided to authors for review prior to publication, and neither abstracts
<br />nor full papers are subjected to peer review. Resolutions are published exactly as passed by the membership in the
<br />business meeting of the annual symposium. The Translation Subcommittee of the Proceedings Committee accepts
<br />responsibility for errors in translations to Spanish for those abstracts they translate. This committee provides
<br />original translations of all abstracts and resolutions when translations are not provided by authors, and edits all
<br />Spanish abstracts provided by authors. Translations to English of all abstracts received only in Spanish are done
<br />by the editor and reviewed by the Translations Subcommittee.
<br />The Desert Fishes Council offers extensive information on the World Wide Web about itself and the organisms
<br />and ecosystems it strives to protect: http://www.utexas.edu/depts/tnhcl.www/riish/dfc/dfc_top.htmi
