There are four ongoing abundance indices for the upper St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario system : a long-term count of juvenile eels ascending the eel ladder at the Moses-Saunders Power Dam, a trawl survey index in the Bay of Quinte(Lake Ontario), an index of abundance based on an electrofishing survey in eastern Lake Ontario, and dam tailwater surveys of emigrating adults at Moses-Saunders Power Dam. The first three, longer-term Ontario abundance indices, showed significant negative trends over the past 10 to 36 years, indicating that eels are at about 3% of their mid-1980s abundance, far from the objective of rebuilding stocks to mid-1980s levels.  1, record 3, English, - eel%20ladder

The "Index-grain apparatus" (...) is a sedimentation device in which the free fall of grains is slowed by three nozzle-like constrictions which cause turbulence that results in better grading of the grains. In order to distinguish between the single grain fractions which settle in a graduated, conical, water-filled sedimentation vessel, a colored index set of three known grain fractions is added to the sediment before separation: 1 cm^three black grains in the grade 0.02-0.035 mm 1 cm^three red grains in the grade 0.063-0.11 mm 1 cm^three black grains in the grade 0.2-0.35 mm (...) The suspension with the added index set is poured into the filling tube, which is closed from below with a float stopper. The stopper is opened by squeezing a rubber bulb on the filling tube, and the suspension can immediately enter the lower sedimentation tube. The filling tube has a constriction that generates turbulence. The grains therefore enter the sedimentation tube pregraded. By multiplying the percentage volumes of the individual grades (minus the added colored index grains of each grade) by the average bulk density [(gamma] = 1.56), the weight-percentages of the individual grades are calculated on the basis of 100% dry material.  1, record 25, English, - Index%2Dgrain%20apparatus
