PREFACE This manual was published under Research Objective Achievement Plan 1BA027-05AEF, "Methods for Determining Biological Parameters of all Waters," as part of the National Analytical Methods Development Research Program. The manual was prepared largely by a standing committee of senior Agency biologists organized in 1970 to assist the Biological Methods Branch in the selection of methods for use in routine field and laboratory work in fresh and marine waters arising during short-term enforcement studies, water quality trend monitoring, effluent testing and research projects. The methods contained in this manual are considered by the Committee to be the best available at this time. The manual will be revised and new methods will be recommended as the need arises. The Committee attempted to avoid duplicating field and laboratory methods already adequately described for Agency use in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 13th edition, and frequent reference is made to this source throughout the manual. Questions and comments regarding the contents of this manual should be directed to: Cornelius I. Weber, Ph.D. Chief, Biological Methods Branch Analytical Quality Control Laboratory National Environmental Research Center U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Cincinnati, Ohio 45268 v
