<br />considerable in floodplalns with macrophytes. <br /> <br />p.l1 (bottom). The logistics of effective sampling of fast-moving= <br />events in <br />the limited period of flooding, which will occur during the same= <br />peri od <br />everywhere, is a huge challenge. This must be addressed in the proposal.= <br />=20 <br /> <br />p.12. It is a pity that a variety of different gears are being envisaged <br />among species, resulting in a different currency for estimating each= <br />taXa. <br />This may be inevitab1e in the brave new wor1d of f100dplain sampling,= <br />but <br />the possibility of concentrating on a limited set of standardized= <br />methods <br />(e.g. seining patches that have been cleared inside the seine. before <br />hauling, electrofisning within areas blocked by nets, trap setting= <br />during <br />drawdown) that may be possible to calibrate now or in the future,= <br />is <br />appealing on various counts, and should be investigated. 1 will be= <br />the <br />first to admit that this is a knotty problem, especially when considered= <br />in <br />the seasonal constraints outlined in the previous =B6. I believE <br />experimentation of sampling methods during the first year on a limited <br />cross-section of environments, which should include a statistical~ <br />analysis <br />of samp1ing variance to give some idea of power, is important to= <br />provide <br />guidelines for this study as well as for long-term monitoring. <br /> <br />I'm sending a hard copy of this with billing <br /> <br />Yours=20 <br /> <br />Peter B.
