Approximately 75 per cent of the rescued fish are what we have 

 classed as number "ones," two inches or less in length. Twenty-two per 

 cent are yearlings, and 3 per cent are adults of all sizes. We have 

 devised a system by which we are able to count small fish by small dip 

 net measurement, which is approximately 98 per cent correct. All 

 figures are very conservative.
