<br />5G7 <br /> <br />Food Habits <br /> <br />Sampling protocol <br /> <br />Processing of food availability and food habit samples collected from main channel and secondary <br />channel/backwater habitats in 1996 will be completed in FY '97. Processing will include <br />identification of fish (collected via seines) and invertebrate samples (collected via surber, Hess, and <br />dredge samples) in the laboratory. In addition, stomach contents of randomly selected native and <br />non-native specimens will be examined for food habits and dietary overlap. Invertebrate samples are <br />preserved in 70% ethanol and stomach samples are preserved in 10% formalin. <br /> <br />General Sampling Requirements: <br /> <br />Food habits: subsample of specimens collected from the FY '96 SC/MC fish movement and adult <br />sampling trips. <br /> <br />Budget: FY 97 <br />Personnel (GS-9) <br />Technician (GS-7) <br />Travel/per diem <br />Radio Tracking Flights <br />Data Integration <br />Equipment and Supplies <br /> <br />$41,748 <br />$ 6,150 <br />$10,020 <br />$ 8,080 <br />$10,000 <br />$ 6.402 <br /> <br />TOTAL <br /> <br />$ 82,400 <br /> <br />27 <br />
