Fish Sampling and Water Quality Analysis
A lake or pond can be properly sampled by pulling a 15 foot seine to check fry and fingerling production of the different fish species present in the water. A 50 foot bag seine is used to sample intermediate and larger fish sizes.
These seine hauls can tell a professional fisheries biologist the overall shape of the population dynamics in a lake or pond. Management of fish can then be implemented to meet the objectives of the lake or pond owner. These methods have been developed and proven by university research.

Water quality tests can be conducted in your lake or pond which are beneficial to maintain a high quality water resource.
