<< Fisheries experts! How do you quantify your effort? >>
When we're snorkeling and monitoring fish, we use a measurement we refer to
as fish-per-person-hour. If we have four of us working for 15 minutes in a
particular pool....that would be equilivant to one person-hour. If we saw six
of the target fish, that would give us a number of six per person-hour. This
doesn't give us a number of fish in that pool, rather, it gives us an index
number we can compair from one year to the next...or from one season to
another.
