Streams considered candidates for lampricide treatment in 1996 were surveyed in 1995 to provide statistically reliable estimates (+/- 50% of the mean) of larval density and amounts of habitable substrates. Survey plots were randomly selected, catch of larvae was corrected for gear efficiency, and length of larvae was standardized to the end of the growing season. Estimated mean density of larvae in the survey plots was expanded by estimated total amount of substrates that was inhabited by larvae. A curve for probability of transformation derived from historical data estimated the number of larvae that will transform and leave the stream in 1996. The streams scheduled for treatment in 1996 are ranked on an estimated cost per kill of transformer.
