• Description:
  "The objective of this study was to determine whether modification of a standard fixed-crest weir would result in greater export of fishery organisms from the area controlled by the weir ... From this study it is evident that, if a weir is considered as a coastal marsh management tool, a slotted weir would be more beneficial to fisheries resources."--Leaves v, 40.
