Data Storage and Retrieval
The MANAGE data based management system developed by the Western
Energy and Land Use Team (WELUT) in Fort Collins, Colorado was used for
the project. This system provides storage, retrieval and manipulation
of large volumes of data. In addition, data analysis capability was
integrated into the MANAGE system by integrating certain features of the
IMSL (International Mathematical and Statistical Library) Package
(Shumate et al 1981).
Field data were organized into four data sets in the Vernal data
base. Data sheets and the following data sets were developed:
1. PHYSICAL; Physical and chemical data, including water and air
temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, salinity, turbidity,
and stream width and depth.
2. CATCH-Green: Catch data for fishes; includes sample time,
duration, gear type, habitat, area sampled, depth, velocity,
and substrate for each fish species (endangered and non-en-
dangered) by age groups.
3. Rare: Includes sample time, duration, gear type, habitat
area sampled, depth, velocity, substrate type,-sex, length,
weight, tag size and number, and macroscopic external parasite
load for each endangered or threatened fish captured.
4. RADIO: Movement data for radiotagged fish, including observa-
tion time, distances for movements, type of movement, depth,
velocity and substrate of preferred habitat, water flow and
temperature.
MANAGE accepts alphanumeric codes. Fish species and other observ-
ations were coded on the data sheets as letters rather than numerals. As
an example, the substrate 'sand' was coded as 'SA'. This facilitated
field recording. Numeric information was also entered directly.
