For the Rocky Bottom method, you either need 200+ bugs or 4 nets, at least 3 of which are the full 90 seconds, for your data to be approved. If you didn’t get 200 bugs, but you took all 4 nets, your sample is still valid.

For the Muddy Bottom method, you must either collect 100+ non-scuds or pick all 4 quadrants of your sample. If you didn’t get 100 non-scuds, but you picked all 4 quadrants, your sample is still valid. Make a note in your data submission that you picked all 4 quadrants.
