Fish Observations

Species: juvenile/adult Arctic grayling Life History: Resident
Total Fish Observed: 9 Fish Measured: 5 Passage Barrier:
Fork Lengths (mm) Min: 95 Max: 385 Mean: 293
Collected/Observed by Gear Type: Boat-Mounted Electrofisher (1) Boat-Mounted Electrofisher (3) Boat-Mounted Electrofisher (1) Visual Observation, Boat (1) Visual Observation, Boat (1) Visual Observation, Boat (2)
Comments: Grayling appear largely unaffected by all efishing settings unless they are within 2 ft +/- of the annode. Even using the highest settings did not appear to increase field strenght /range to "pull" them in.
