electrofishing
Current-based fish sampling
Electrofishing is a method of catching fish by passing electric current through water, temporarily stunning them so they can be netted.
Wildlife biologists use it to survey fish populations without killing them: The team spent the morning electrofishing the stream to count trout.
The technique requires specialized equipment and training to avoid harming fish or humans.
