Use letter codes (A=1-9, B=10-99, C=100 or more) to record the numbers of organisms found in a total sample. Then add up the number of letters in each column and multiply by the indicated value. The following columns are divided based on the organism's sensitivity to pollution. | (check all that apply) Method used: Muddy Bottom Rocky Bottom | Habitat selected for sampling: riffle leaf pack/woody debris streambed with silty area (very fine particles) streambed with sand or small gravel vegetated bank other (specify) |
