This important reference book provides standard sampling methods recommended by the American Fisheries Society for assessing and monitoring freshwater fish populations in North America. Methods apply to ponds, reservoirs, natural lakes, and streams and rivers containing cold and warmwater fishes. Range-wide and eco-regional averages for indices of abundance, population structure, and condition for individual species are supplied to facilitate comparisons of standard data among populations. Provides information on converting nonstandard to standard data, statistical and database procedures for analyzing and storing standard data, and methods to prevent transfer of invasive species while sampling.
With three new coauthors and other important additions, we build upon the foundation of this chapter’s first edition. Recommendations are now provided for a wider geographic range to include large temperate to tropical warm waters throughout North America, from Mexico to Canada. For boat electrofishing, aiming to simplify power metering, we now redefine power targets based on amperage goals. Low-frequency electrofishing has been added as a standard procedure for monitoring select catfish species. Lastly, we provide clarification about the throat design of fyke nets.
