A common complaint of lakes and ponds is poor fishing. A biological system such as a lake or pond is a complex system with many interacting factors involved in the production of the desirable and balanced ecosystem. Fisheries scientists have developed and adopted various types of equipment for collection of unbiased random samples of fish. Aquatic Control biologists have modified standard sampling techniques used by governmental organizations to reduce the field and laboratory time, providing our clients a high quality, yet cost effective survey. Surveys will be modified to fit the individual requirements of your lake. The major sampling equipment utilized includes electro-fishing boats, water quality testing equipment, sonar equipment, and necessary laboratory equipment. We maintain a technical library for reference and continually integrate new methods of sampling and analysis of fish populations, providing you with "state of the art" service. A lake survey provides a starting point for lake improvement projects. Survey results often save our clients money by allowing cost effective, biologically sound management procedures to be implemented. Specifications for our fish surveys are available on request.
