Fisheries Class 2017

1/16

Fisheries Biology is taught every two years. Each time, some of the labs are held at the Field Station to go over trap nets and electrofishing. Students stand behind the electrofishing boat while Mark Clapsadl (right) describes operation of the boat.

Students in flotation suits stand behind a boat with a cooler and a generator on it. There is a white building with a green roof behind them.

Dr. Pérez (center) explains how the trap net works while the students hold it up on land.

Students in the center of the frame hold up a box-shaped net on land, while at right someone holds up one long wing of net. A second wing lies on the ground at left.

9/16

Dr. Pérez (center) attaches a leader section to the box-shaped trap net. The leader goes between the wings and is longer than either wing to guide fish into the net.

Students hold up a box-shaped trap net while two other people arrange three long flat wings of net on the ground in front of it.

Students take a picture of a mudpuppy (salamander) that was caught in the trap net.

Students take a picture of a large black salamander on the open white lid of a cooler that has murky brown water inside.

Fish collected during electrofishing. Dr. Pérez uses a net to catch a gizzard shad for closer examination.

Students stand around a white cooler with fish in murky water while someone uses a small dip net to get a closer look at one. A second cooler is off to the right.
