Electrofishing shocks giant swarm of fish out of the water in Kentucky

Sec. Josh Kurtz uses an electrofishing machine to stun small fish in a tributary stream of the Patapsco River during DNR's Science Week. DNR scientists use elctro fishing equipment to help them collect, measure, weigh, and count the diversity of fish living in a stream. Streams with better overall water quality tend to have a wider diversity of fish and more of them. After the fish are surveyed, they are released back into the stream where they recover. #mddnrscienceweek #electrofishing #patapsc
