FISHPROG estimates fish population sizes and annual production rates in small streams from multiple pass sampling data. Input is length (cm) and weight (grams) data. Output consists of catch for each sample-species combination by length class, catch for each pass, total population estimates, average weight per length class, and production for each species by site. The program is well documented and does what the authors state, but it is not user-friendly. A math co-processor is REQUIRED.
