 MRIS Reporting Program 



Step 2 - Select a Report Format. Move to Step 2 and press Enter. There are two 

 ways of reporting species information; if you only want a list of the streams where a 

 species is found, use the Brief Species Report. A Full Species Report will give you 

 a listing of where the species are located plus information on the stream use, genetic 

 and habitat code and species abundance. The Full Stream Report will give you all the

 report to clarify the information being displayed (Figure 13).
