Page history last edited by lesman@... 13 years, 4 months ago

The mission of the Indiana DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife is to professionally manage Indiana's fish and wildlife for present and future generations, balancing ecological, recreational, and economic benefits. To accomplish this mission, the DNR Fisheries Program monitors a variety of parameters and indices listed in the table below.  The corresponding methods for field sampling and laboratory analysis are either described or linked to published documents.
