The effectiveness of two common sampling methods for assessing imperilled freshwater fishes
Download2007
Poos, M.S., Mandrak, N.E., McLaughlin, R.L.
This study tested the hypothesis that the most common gear type used to sample fishes in wadeable systems, electrofishing, was more effective than another commonly used gear type, seining, for sampling fish species at risk. Five predictions were tested. At sites where species at risk were...
