Hydrology drives variation in spawning phenologies and diversity of larval assemblages of Australian wet–dry tropical fish

“…The SNE method (King & Crook, 2002) Night sampling of larval fish was also performed using modified quatrefoil light traps (30 cm diameter, 25 cm height, with 5 mm entry slots) constructed from clear Perspex and stainless steel.…”

Identifying drivers of tropical riverine larval fish abundance and diversity

“…Larval fish data used in this study form a subset of those collected by Tyler et al (2021), whereby only daytime sweep net electrofishing (SNE; King and Crook 2002) samples were used. Sampling by SNE used a backpack electrofishing unit (model LR-20B; Smith-Root Inc., Vancouver, Washington, USA) with a 10 cm diameter anode ring fitted within a moulded plastic rectangular frame (25 cm × 30 cm × 2 cm), which held a 250 μm mesh sampling net and removable cod-end.…”

Lack of Standardized Informed Consent Practices and Medical Malpractice

“…Under this type of system, the physician would "share with the patient all relevant risks and information on all treatment alternatives and the patient [would share] with the physician all relevant personal information that might make one treatment or side effect more or less tolerable than others" [20]. This model of informed consent, they suggest, would preserve patients' individual autonomy by giving them greater access to the information they need in considering the options before them [19], while also improving physicians' ability to advise their patients on treatment choices [21]. Despite the promise this legal revision would bring, King and Moulton acknowledge that an overhaul of informed consent law would require considerable resources and present implementation hurdles for both the US health care and legal systems; however, surmounting these obstacles may well be worth it for better protecting the decisions made by patients and physicians in the provision of care [22].…”
