PUBLICATIONS AND PROJECTS ASSISTED

An additional benefit to the Volusia County fishery survey regularly scheduled, long-term biological monitoring program is the ability to assist other projects in field collections at little or no additional expense. The following is a summary of some of the projects assisted in recent years. These projects augment the goals of the Volusia County fishery survey by providing more specific data on certain species.
