| SURF SMELT AND PACIFIC SAND LANCE INTERTIDAL SPAWNING HABITAT ASSESSMENT This manual is to guide surveys after training is provided by a biologist experienced in monitoring for beach spawning forage fish (see page 6 for contact information). Sampling for surf smelt and Pacific sand lance eggs consists of: Site selection (Section 1); obtaining a bulk sample of mixed sand and gravel from the upper intertidal region of an appropriate beach (Section 2); condensing the bulk sample to a manageable volume (Section 3); and examining the condensed sample under a dissecting microscope to determine the presence or absence of eggs (Section 4). Sections 1 – 3 are supplied in this field guide as are field data codes and data sheet. Pages 2 – 6 of this document can be laminated for use in the field. |
