Additional information
The analysis presented here is based on data about the membership of the working committee on aquatic ecology—Werkgemeenschap Aquatische Ecologie—which enlists those scientists who work in basic research, and on data about the membership of the working committee on the assessment of water quality—Werkgroep Biologische Waterbeoordeling—the members of which are mainly workers in applied research. InJaarverslag 1982, “Stichting voor Biologisch Onderzoek” BION (Foundation For Fundamental Biological Research, BION,Yearly Report 1982), 61 persons with an academic degree were active in fresh-water ecology on the former committee in 1982. According to its membership list, the second committee had 68 members who held a university degree and were active in fresh-water research; all but 11 of these worked primarily on applied research. In our efforts to avoid double counting, we found that dual full membership of both committees was restricted to four research workers with university degrees. Four other members of the working committee on the assessment of water quality were listed as associates. Werkgroep Biologische Waterbeoordeling,Ledenlijst.
