FISH

1.  Initiate taxonomic studies on all groups.

2.  Study populations in relation to stream size and elevation.  Compare populations on west and east coast streams.

3.  Compare and contrast species abundance in DMZ streams with those passing through rice paddies.  Compare growth rates in the same streams.

4.  Determine distribution of each species in Korea.

5.  Study life history of all species beginning with the economically important.  Determine management practices.

6.  Determine importance of fresh water fish as economic species.  Experiment with methods of harvest.

7.  Study parasites of fish especially those infective to man.  Suggest control measures.

8.  Investigate methods of increasing production of fresh water species in both streams and ponds.

9.  Investigate construction methods for farm ponds.

REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS

1.  Initiate taxonomic studies of all groups.

2.  Determine relative abundance and diversity in all vegetation types and all altitudes both in the DMZ and in suitable areas on the outside.

3.  Study life histories of all groups, and determine the extent of competition with other species or groups of species.

4.  Initiate studies on the venom of poisonous species and isolate the active agents in each.

INVERTEBRATES

1.  Initiate taxonomic studies of all groups.

2.  Determine relative abundance and diversity within all groups in and out of the DMZ, and at all altitudes and in all vegetation types.

3.  Compare and contrast the abundance or agricultural and medically important species inside and outside the DMZ.

4.  Study arthropod population changes that take place as vegetation develops.  Determine stage less suited for pest and attempt to stabalize this stage.

5.  Study population dynamics of pest species and determine the best time to attempt controls.
