| DFC folks: I am sending on to you a query from Cristi Baldino, biologist at the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. Her request is self-explanatory. If you are interested in this, or can offer suggestons concerning whom she might contact, please respond to her at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks very much for your interest and help. "We need to develop a decent monitoring plan for our pupfishes and dace. Currently we survey the major springs biennually (1/2 one year, the other half the next year). We also have pupfish in the outflows, the reservoirs (at least Peterson), and the marshes that we don't survey. Is there any way to get a better idea of Refuge populations beyond the springs? Do we survey enough to detect significant changes in the populations? In short, we need help in designing a statistically valid sampling program. Can you recommend someone in the fish world who might be interested in helping us? (For pay, we are not asking for a freebie!)" Phil Edwin P.
