Handheld Electrofishing Removal Device
This technology is an electrofishing device designed for the removal of invasive fish species from streams and rivers. The device can emit a specific amount of current to create an electric field in the body of water which causes involuntary muscle spasms in nearby fish, drawing the fish towards the device. This technique was demonstrated to be capable...
