Book Description
Studies on fishing mortality in Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, were initiated in 1950 as part of a US Fish and Wildlife Service investigation of the status of the population of cutthroat trout. Creel census has been carried on each year since the intial one, and various modifications have been adopted from year to year as ways of simplifying the census and of reducing sizes of the sample without seriously sacrificing the reliability of the estimates have been discovered. This article discusses these refinements and suggests other methods for obtaining accurate results.
