Sampling Methods

Backpack electroshocking with dip nets and waders.

Study Extent Lewis Creek Watershed, sampled periodically in spring and fall 2016
Quality Control Difficult IDs checked by state fisheries biologist, Rich Langdon

Method step description:

  1. Sampling was done in an upstream direction, attempting to cover the width of the channel and a representative selection of micro habitats. Sampling effort was recorded by the timer on the electorshocker (seconds of use). Individual fish caught, identified, recorded, and then released downstream. Unfamiliar species were kept in a bucket and identified at the end of the survey, photographed if necessary then released.
