Lake Survey
Where Do You Start?
Usually the first step is to
analyze the current condition of
the lake and the fish
populations. We do this by
conducting an electroshock
survey. The electroshocker
temporarily stuns the fish
without harming them. Forage
fish are categorized by size and
quantity, and predators are
weighed and measured. The
recorded data is used to produce
graph summaries of their
condition.
With this information we
might set harvest limits or
possibly recommend supplemental
stocking of additional forage.
Data is compared from each
survey to the next to track
progress in percentage growth.
What's Next?
Other parameters we observe
include the following.
- Water Fertility
- Vegetation
Coverage
- Depth Profile
- Water Visibility
- External
Parasites
