[COURSE NAME] FWS-FIS2C01 Principles & Techniques of Electrofishing [LOCATION] DOI LEARN [DESCRIPTION] 
This course illustrates how basic principles of electricity are applied to improve electrofishing results. The goals of this course are to (1) present a framework for increasing the efficiency and standardization of electrofishing through a working knowledge of electric circuit and field theory, power transfer and standardization, system components, gear types, electrode design, and sampling considerations, (2) provide safety training, and (3) promote the awareness of and methods to minimize electrofishing-induced fish trauma. Other knowledge/skills gained include the ability to make simple trouble-shooting checks, estimate capabilities of equipment, understand equipment power output characteristics, compensate for the effects of water conductivity on catchability and battery discharge time, and plan experiments to determine effective waveforms and power required for capturing specific species and size classes.
