Abstract:	This file contains total numbers of the 22 different types of critters (depending on species, size, maturity, or all three) caught from the two drift distance experiments on the Kuparuk River in 1989. One experiment was on 7 July 1989 at the -500m station, the other was on 10 July 1989 at the 1.7km station.

TAXONOMIC COVERAGE:
Organisms studied

Methods:	Drift samples were taken at 2m, 4m, 8m, 16m, and 32m distances downstream from an arbitrary point in the river. After those samples were retrieved and prepared for storage, a very large Nitex net was positioned at the "arbitrary" point and all invertevrate drift flow was stopped. Now, a new set of 2m, 4m, 8m, 16m, and 32m drift distances were taken downstream from the net. The data file calls these samples "2m before, 2m after, ...". Sampling Description. None
