For Example: Electro-fishing is not as efficient for sampling young-of-the-year fingerlings as it is for adults; therefore, to improve the accuracy we will also sample with seines. This technique captures the young-of-the-year fingerlings which helps determine accurate survival rates from the previous years of spawning. We can also determine which species are present and at what ratios. Why is this information important? Because if the bass are reproducing successfully, you may not need to stock more, but possibly provide more food. Or it may be necessary to reduce the amount of aquatic weeds to allow easier access of the bass to existing prey. These are the types of questions that are answered with an accurate assessment of your existing fishery. Knowing the problem is the first step to solving the problem, and can save you money in the long run. ATAC has the expertise to help you reach your goals; call us for a free estimate.
