FISH SHOCKING -- Fisheries management biologists spent several days assessing the smallmouth bass and goggle-eye populations in some Ozark streams in southeast Missouri. The electrofishing process allows biologists to quickly collect the fish, gather information, and later release the fish unharmed. Video courtesy of Dave Ostendorf. | Missouri Dept. of Conservation

SHOCKING FISH -- Check out this underwater footage as fisheries biologists use electroshocking to survey fish populations in Missouri rivers and lakes. The fish are only stunned by the electric current and recover quickly. The electrofishing method uses a generator that feeds an electric current along two booms that stretch out in front of the boat.
