Preamble Full descriptions of the field and laboratory procedures, methods for data collation and worked examples of data analysis required to implement the methods described in this protocol are contained in a companion manual”. The manual is the working “Operational document used by monitoring staff at the Jabiru Field Station to conduct the stream macroinvertebrate monitoring technique. The Operational manual is in a loose-leaf, bound form, allowing for ready revision and update. Revisions must be approved by the SSD Monitoring Support Unit (Darwin) before the Operational manual can be updated. The specific material contained in the Operational manual includes: datasheet pro forma for field, laboratory and QA/QC results details of all field and laboratory procedures used for macroinvertebrate sampling and sample processing, including: instructions on use of meters, microscopes and other instruments photographs and maps of the location of sample data codes for macroinvertebrates and environmental variables taxonomic keys and photographs of macroinvertebrate taxa details of all statistical procedures used for data analysis and worked examples of these procedures examples of all required corporate reports training summary information on key references and supporting studies.
