'Course that doesn't address the question of how electrofishing compares to
seining, dipnetting or castnetting. I almost never use traps, because I
have limited time at the site and I want to get in and see what's there
right now. I can see how fishes in a trap could become stressed and
injured while trying to escape over a long period. If I'm careful, I
usually have very low mortality on netted fishes.
