A resistive counter is associated with an in-river structure, an example constituting a Crump weir. [1] The resistivity of a fish is lower than that of water. So, as fish cross this barrier, they pass embedded electrodes, and the difference in resistivity disturbs the field established in the vicinity of the electrodes, altering inter-electrode resistance.
Meristics is an area of zoology and botany which relates to counting quantitative features of animals and plants, such as the number of fins or scales in fish.A meristic (countable trait) can be used to describe a particular species, or used to identify an unknown species.
Fish were observed floating inverted completely motionless with the illicium hanging down stiffly in a slight arch in front of the fish. The illicium was hanging over small visible burrows. It was suggested this is an effort to entice prey and an example of low-energy opportunistic foraging and predation.
The winner will have the overall longest aggregate length of each of those three species (redfish over 32 inches, referred to as bull redfish, will not be counted to conserve fish returning to ...

Fish trappers continued to overharvest for decades until, in the name of conservation, Washington state officially outlawed all fish traps in 1934, including reef nets. A few years later, non ...
In fisheries and conservation biology, the catch per unit effort (CPUE) is an indirect measure of the abundance of a target species. Changes in the catch per unit effort are inferred to signify changes to the target species' true abundance.
Estimating escapement for salmon can be done several ways: The most commonly used method is the area-under-the-curve model, [2] and other methods include the change-in-ratio method, carcass-counting surveys, and weir-count surveys. [3]
