North Carolina Online Bibliography—Abstract
Multiple-reach sampling of fish communities in coastal plain streams was used to provide information about the magnitude of intra-site variability that might be encountered. This information is important for evaluating inter-site differences that are observed during water-quality assessments. At selected sites fish community samples were collected from each of three stream reaches located within larger, relatively homogenous stream segments. Each of the sampling reaches were selected based on fluvial geomorphology. Intra-site variability was evaluated by comparing species richness, percent similarity, and rank concordance.
