-: My name is Drew Holloway.
I'm a fisheries biologist for the Muncie Sanitary District's
Bureau of Water Quality.
Through standardized electro-fishing techniques,
we actually put a very small pulsed electric current
into the water, that will temporarily immobilize the fish.
Once the fish are immobilized, me and my crew
will net all of the fish together, separate them
on a species level, and then release them back to the wild
after we take things like length, weight,
minimum, maximum lengths, as well.
Release them back to the wild, and it is
a non-lethal form of biological monitoring.
