 | | When the limiting velocity (VLIM) is treated as a lower bound (minimum) no cells are found within the search distance with velocities higher than VLIM at the fourth cross section. |
 | | In contrast, when VLIM is treated as an upper bound (maximum), there are ample cells with velocities lower than the limit and the habitat at the fourth cross section at 15 cfs is substantially the same as the standard calculation. |
 | | It is the responsibility of the investigator to justify his (her) choice of modeling options and, in particular, choice of velocity limits and scanning distances used for the species and life stages involved in each project analysis. |
