Description
Electrofishing is done to preserve and protect fish populations, in the event, for example, of work being carried out in a river, as well as pollution or drought. Using the technique sick fish can also be captured to avoid an epidemic, control populations to ensure the effectiveness of repopulation measures, carry out scientific studies successfully, and to draw up statistics on the quantity of fish, wealth of species, samples' state of health, and trophic balance (distribution of nutritional groups).
