Estimated labour costs for Rapid Bioassessment protocol. Mean labour estimates for a hypothetical IBI study, using 10 regional reference stations and 3 test sites. Values assume an experienced 2 person field sampling crew with one fisheries biologist. Equipment and supplies costing for a hypothetical IBI study. Labour estimates for modules within the Stream Assessment Protocol.
Values assume a trained, volunteer crew.
Costs for specialized equipment and supplies associated with Ontario Stream Assessment Protocol modules. Selected toxic contaminants and their origins and use, modes of dispersal within the aquatic ecosystem, and toxic effects. Considerations of scale and confounding effects should be discussed while generating the model. BoiMAP Interpretation for the hypothetical station shown in figure 4. Hypothetical Rapid Bio-assessment raw data from 2 of 10 regional reference stations.
