Electrofishing is a common method for sampling fish in rivers. In Sweden, electrofishing has a long history, dating back to the 1950s, but the vast majority of surveys have been conducted by wading in shallow river stretches, leaving a data gap for non-wadable rivers. Boat electrofishing allows for surveys in deeper river sections, but limited numbers of operational electrofishing boats have led to standardisation of methods not being prioritized within Swedish water management. This method protocol describes the first Swedish standardised method for boat electrofishing, based on intermittent shoreline sampling in larger slow-flowing rivers. The paper describes: • General methodology for boat electrofishing operation • Data collection protocols • Discussion of current caveats for the methodIn the future, the methodology will be amended to cover a wider array of river types (e.g. faster flowing river sections). Hence, readers are advised to look for updates to the protocol. |
