Interested in conducting a life history of E. derivativum

Hey guys this is my first post on this forum and I dont know if this is the correct place to post this, but I've been an avid reader of the topics discussed for some time and need some help. I am interested in doing a write up on the life history of the stone darter here in my area, and I was wondering if anyone had a good resource on protocol for sampling, recording, and writing up the findings. Im finding lots of different takes on the subject but Im looking for one standardized protocol (sex ratio, length, weight, habitat and physcicohemical parameters, etc.) If anyone has any "inside tracks" I would be very grateful.
