Electrofishing is a valuable non-lethal fish sampling technique used for fisheries research and management, and aquaculture. Our staff are experienced electrofishing a variety of aquatic habitats, including streams, large reservoirs, small lakes and ponds, and brackish delta and marsh environments.
