Re: Fp. oeseri
Well .. I am going to make your day ..
I have only 4 replies indicating Fp. oeseri
The statistic based of people to killie species is about 1:1 about 850
people to 800 species.
The statistic based on people to populations is 1:4 about 850 people to
3000 populations (actually more probably)
The problem with statistics with Killies is this. I have 150 responses
more or less. If we consider that an average sampling (which I do not
since it was volunteered) then we should be able to extrapolate (wow - big
words) a multiple of 5.67 x the recorded data 4 reported populations =
22.6 people keeping the fish.
Unfortunately - this was not the right type of sampling to get an active
reading for statistical purposes so now we have read into it what we
want. My attitude is simple. There are 4 recorded reports of the species.
