Electrofishing to sample fish population

Electrofishing Surveys & Fish rescues

Electrofishing is a method we, Endrick Environmental, use to sample fish populations in waterways. It involves using specialised equipment to apply a small electric current to temporarily stun fish. This allows for easy capture and observation without harm to any species. Where you have a need to monitor fish populations, manage invasive species or conduct a habitat assessment as part of regulatory compliance Endrick Environmental is ready to help you make informed decisions.

The benefits of electrofishing include:

Accurate assessment of fish populations. You gain reliable data on species presence and abundance.
Quick results during field surveys. Our team can efficiently gather significant amounts of data in a short time.
Minimal impact on fish health. The electric current does not harm fish, allowing for their safe release after sampling.
Identification of invasive species. You can proactively manage your waterways by identifying and addressing non-native fish populations.
Insight into habitat conditions. Our surveys help you understand the health of your aquatic ecosystem.

Fish Rescues

At times, essential work is required in and around water courses leading. This leads to a requirement to remove all fish species from a given area prior to the commencement of the work in question. Some examples of why fish need to relocate are: construction projects, environmental disturbances such as flooding, habitat degradation and disease outbreaks. The fish are then relocated to a safer area, such as a safe water body or a temporary holding facility. Endrick Environmental staff have engaged in a number of such fish rescues and can provide the support you need for successful delivery of your project..
