Dear Fish-SCI
I am a relatively new PhD student looking at the ecology and evolution
of the three-spine stickleback in Ireland. I am currently
planning/assessing my methodology for sampling and I was wondering if
anyone could suggest some references?
I've found several good papers on comparisons of fish sampling methods
but a lot of these concentrate on larger fish. If anyone could point me
in the direction of older or more obscure references dealing with small
fish or with sticklebacks specifically that I might have missed, I would
be very grateful indeed!
I should be clear that I am keen that my current planned sampling of
rivers, lakes, estuarine and coastal marine habitats requires relatively
small numbers of individuals (30-40). Regardless, I would like my
samples to be as representative possible and I am keen to find out just
how representative the current accepted methods for stickleback sampling
(pond-netting and minnow traps) are.
Many thanks
Mark Ravinet
