Manitoba fish counted by shocker in four streams
Manitoba fisheries biologists used electric shockers in four Duck Mountain area streams to sample trout populations. In ten days they surveyed Pine, Sclater, Roaring and Sig Woody rivers, catching and counting fish to assess natural reproduction and growth rates, with results aiding future stocking and habitat choices. The Pine River shows natural reproduction and two pound class trout, while Roaring and Big Woods show little evidence of reproduction. Sclater has no trout. The method captures fish and bait species, enabling broad species and size data across 600 foot sections.
