Science is concerned with being right, whereas advocacy is concerned with not being passive. Consequently, science by itself can seldom prescribe social decisions; this assures that when scientists advocate, they will generally go beyond the limits of their scientific knowledge. Because scientists and professionals, just like all people, are laden with values, they need to be especially cautious and self-conscious when they act as advocates. And, because natural resource scientists and professionals often work in areas where knowledge is scarce and decisions are important across society, we have special responsibilities to be explicit about our roles as advocates. We must study and minimize our biases; clearly understand our personal values; disclose our interests; seek and embrace contrary views; and regularly assess our motives.}, number={1}, journal={Human Dimensions of Wildlife}, author={Nielsen, L.

Second, history provides an accurate perspective on the development of our profession, verifying that conditions are neither as bad nor as good as they seem. Third, history informs the inventory stage of strategic planning, providing the baselines for setting management goals and objectives. Fourth, historical information can be used as experiments to address long-term ecological and management questions.

Four groups of professionals were surveyed: (1) fishery managers from Virginia's fisheries management agency; (2) aquatic biologists from Virginia's water quality regulation agency; (3) fishery managers from throughout the USA; and (4) fish ecologists from throughout the USA. Each professional assigned scores indicating value to a series of hypothetical streams that varied on the basis of six predetermined factors. We used multiple linear regression to examine relationships between the varying factors and the value scores assigned by professionals. Importance to rare and endemic species and species richness were major determinants of perceived ecological value, whereas fishery value was largely determined by species composition, aesthetic quality, and fish size.

Both seine and pushnet catch rates were highly variable, with seine catch rates related to sampling conditions and pushnet catch rates related to habitat quality. The pushnet, which primarily sampled limnetic habitats, captured fewer species and smaller-sized individuals than the seine, which primarily sampled littoral habitats. The pushnet is a useful addition to faunal survey equipment because it samples differently from a seine and is useable where steeply-sloping shorelines, fast currents, shoreline obstructions and soft substrates prevent seining.}, number={3}, journal={FISHERIES RESEARCH}, author={TINSLEY, VR and NIELSEN, LA and WAHL, DH}, year={1989}, month={May}, pages={201–206} }

Social and institutional dimensions are discussed as being most in need of explicit management attention. The indicator system has utility for improving all phases of the management process, from goal‐ and objective‐setting through evaluation.

Diets of freshwater drum in large rivers were primarily composed of detritivores such as molluscs, crayfish and collector-gatherer invertebrates (trichopterans, ephemeropterans and dipterans) whereas zooplankton (cladoceran) and dipteran prey dominated freshwater drum collected from lakes and reservoirs. These differences were predicted by differences in energy pathways between lentic (plankton-based) and lotic (detrital-based) systems. Growth of freshwater drum was significantly higher in lotic (N=4) than in lentic (N=8) systems. Data from the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers reveal longer annual feeding cycles and greater growth in large rivers than in lentic waters.

Large brown trout ate five species of fish consistently during the May–November, 1979, experimental period; by November, every trout stomach examined contained fish remains. Small trout rarely ate fish. Effects of fish consumption were apparent in trout growth and in abundance of prey species. Large trout grew 9.4% in length and 21.3% in weight, whereas small trout grew 4.5% in length and 4.7% in weight. Abundance of the major prey species, torrent sucker (Moxostoma rhothoecum), decreased between April and October in the stream section containing large trout, but remained constant in a comparable reference section; estimates of total consumption of torrent suckers by brown trout accounted for a large portion of the decrease in abundance. Predation on torrent suckers was selective for smaller individuals.

I turn off the water while I brush my teeth, and I only buy beer in returnable bottles. I started a paper-recycling system in my department at the university. And, as soon as I can afford it, I'm going to trade my roomy, comfortable station wagon for a car that gets conscience-soothing gas mileage. Perhaps, though, I'm not an environmentalist at all. Perhaps I'm just overly conscientious. I use my turn signals when no one is around to notice. I always flush in public toilets, and I contribute a dime every time I get coffee from the departmental pot (well, almost every time). Maybe it's even worse than just being conscientious-I may be attracted to environmental arguments because I am an unreasoning idealist. I've been a Chicago Cubs fan for thirty years (next year they will win the pennant). I believe most people would not deliberately harm other people or destroy others' property, and my confidence in the American way remains high despite an awareness of public life that began when John Kennedy was assassinated. Considering why I act the way I do has convinced me that I am not much of an environmentalist at all. By profession I am a professor in a natural resources discipline, and I have been conditioned to restrain my actions and thoughts based on an ecological overview. Nevertheless. other criteria affect my actions, and the environment, like money, isn't everything. I am no more of an environmentalist than I am a husband, or a sports fan, financier, and Christian; at times I am mostly one of these, at all times I am a bit of each. Extending my conception of personal action to society has greatly pacified my fears about the environmental crisis. The question of who is or isn't an environmentalist has become irrelevant, and the illusion of bitter rivals battling to either destroy or preserve nature has evaporated like the steam from a power-plant cooling tower. A friend once told me that where the environment was concerned, one could either be part of the problem or part of the solution. Nonsense. No one is totally devoted to preserving the environment. To paraphrase Descartes, "I am, therefore I pollute." The alternative to polluting the environment is to stop living; and then, as every Agatha Christie fan knows, someone still must dispose of the corpse. In practice, we all compromise environmental quality for the benefit of other desires-for wealth and convenience usually, but for other reasons as well, including the relief of human misery. Consider the paper recycling program in my department. The idea was endorsed enthusiastically: collection boxes in all offices, weekly transfer to largercontainers, and monthly trips to the recycling plant 40 miles away. The system worked fine for several months (except for a few professors who couldn't distinguish a collection box from a trash can and so used one or the other for everything). The students running the program, however, began to feel their own constraints. As research projects, exams, and graduation approached, collections became sporadic and eventually nonexistent. The price of paper fell, the price of gasoline rose, the containers were declared a fire hazard, and the recycling program died. The example is insignificant, but the principle is universal. Within each of us there is a desire for environmental quality-Aldo Leopold (1966) called it a land ethic-but the strength of that desire varies from individual to individual, from time to time, and from circumstance to circumstance. When focused on any single issue, the wide range in the intensity of that ethic is the cause of most environmental antagonism. I believe, however, that if we accept this natural diversity of opinions, both the environmental movement and the environment will benefit.}, number={4}, journal={AMERICAN BIOLOGY TEACHER}, author={NIELSEN, LA}, year={1981}, pages={208-&} }
