Fish Surveys in Partnership with Ricardo for Yorkshire Water
Yorkshire
Learn moreFiveRivers conducted 28 electrofishing surveys across Yorkshire during the summer of 2022, as part of their ongoing involvement in the project. These surveys supported Ricardo in delivering baseline monitoring data to aid Yorkshire Water in their drought planning preparations, building on similar work completed in 2020 and 2021 with a total of 160 fisheries surveys delivered. Electric fish surveys were undertaken either by wading or in deeper rivers, by boat. Where possible, the surveyed reaches were isolated using stop nets. Our operatives conducted multiple survey runs within the same river section to accurately quantify the fish populations in a fixed area. Fish were caught, speciated and measured before being safely returned to the watercourse.
