 A fisheries management program requires
an understanding of water quality, habitat requirements and food web
dynamics. Aquatic Analysts, Inc. uses electrofishing and gill
netting techniques. Electrofishing is conducted from a boat
(Boston Whaler) equipped with a portable generator along a series of
sampling transects in both shallow and deep areas of the lake. At
the same time, gill nets are placed in different locations throughout
the lake. Fish collected by electro-shocking and gill net
techniques are identified, weighed, measured and returned to the
lake.
