Description

The Oelemari River Expedition was carried out between March 29th and May 2nd 1998. The team landed at Kawemhakan (Anapaike) and from there traveled upstream the Lawa River and Oelemari River all the way into the Oranje gebergte (Oranje Mts.). On the way 6 camps were constructed. The team consisted of Paul Ouboter (expedition leader, herpetologist), Bart De Dijn (entomologist), Anielkoemar Gangadien (entomological assistant), Shamita Sahdew (vertebrate assistant) and Stanley Ramanand (ichthyological assistant). Habitats: clear water river with many rapids, creeks and brooklets, tropical rainforest, also some swampy areas.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The Oelemarie River area was sampled once.

Sampling

The sampling methods were specific to the taxonomic groups and included transect walks, hand sampling, seining and using insect traps and active insect collecting.

Quality Control

In some cases the identification of specimens was rechecked by foreign experts.

Method steps

  1. 1. The amphibians were collected using line transects during night surveys. Reptiles were collected by hand when encountered. Insects were collected using various methods (insect traps, active sampling). Fishes were collected using gill nets and seining. 2. The specimens were labeled in the field and after identification a collection number was assigned to each specimen. 3. The specimens were first preserved in formaldehyde and then transferred into 70% Ethanol. 4. All specimens were identified to species using literature and keys.

All specimens from this expedition were identified either to family, genus or species level.
