Data Set Name	htcfish_4tot.dbf, htcfish_8tot.dbf, htcfish_big.dbf, htcfish_trend.dbf
Date of Content Start	6/1/93
Date of Content End	10/15/00
Maint. and Update Freq.	Annual
Purpose	To track the distribution and abundance of aquatic vertebrates.
Data Quality Information	High
Use Constraints	Can not examine population structure, or fitness of salmonids because age-classes were not distinguished in samples. Basin-wide estimates involve large extrapolations from minimal sampling and do not involve a valid variance component.
Supplemental Information	Electrofishing data from 2000 was apparently not worked up into basin-wide estimate in favor of direct count by snorkeling. The 2000 extensive dive survey was lead by David Hines and used snorkelers to count coho salmon juveniles throughout their entire range in the Ten Mile Watershed. Hines stated that the snorkeler counts in 2000 corroborated the electrofishing from that year.
Counties	Mendocino
Other Citation Details	Georgia-Pacific and then Campbell group published reports in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1999 that present and discuss this data. The reports were prepared primarily for the North Coast Water Quality Control Board, and can be found in the KRIS Bibliography under the authors, Ambrose and Hines.
