Introduction

The Standard Methods Resource table below is meant to be used in conjunction with the Standard Methods Bank Table: Mussels. The reference numbers below correspond with the reference numbers in the Standard Methodologies Table. Use these numbers to quickly locate the methods you need for your project. These resources will provide you with information to carry out any of the metrics outlined in the Standard Methods Bank. The resources vary from individual methods (written by PDE staff and others) to large user manuals geared to a variety of user groups. This is a living document which will be updated as necessary to incorporate new metrics and methods.
