Effectively capturing and sampling of fish is a practiced skill and with experience the practitioner learns how to set nets and traps effectively to increase their catch. NRTGs Advanced Fish Sampling MicroCourse is intended for that purpose, to draw on decades of experience capturing and sampling fish to provide students tips, tricks, and strategies to not only set the gear but also to do so in manners to increase catch, while also reducing impacts to trapped fish or mammalian and avian bycatch.
