Report prepared for the National Marine Fisheries Service, Miami. 9 p. Available from: NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC Miami Lab, Coastal Resources Div., 75 Virginia Beach Dr., Miami, Florida 33149. Note: This brief report did not have as its mandate an evaluation of the merits of head-starting; rather, its purpose was "to examine the experimental design of the Kemp's ridley headstarting program." Four aspects of experimental design were examined: 1) is there a testable hypothesis? 2) are sample sizes adequate and unbiased? 3) does the experiment have a control and an experimental group? 4) does the project have an "end point" or a final goal?
