Grand Niagara Fish Salvage

Grand Niagara Golf Course Fish Rescue
Prior to dewatering and overprinting, Biotactic uses a combination of boat and backpack electrofishing, as well as various trap nets (e.g., umbrella, G-minnow, Fyke), to remove all fish and aquatic wildlife (e.g., turtles, frogs, crayfish) from ponds on the Grand Niagara

Fish Rescue and Salvage Operations

Biotactic regularly performs fish rescue and salvage operations, using boat or backpack electrofishing to capture, remove and relocate fish from areas prior to in-water construction activities.

Electrofishing Surveys to Determine Fish Community Biomass

Biotactic established twenty-two long term monitoring sites (66 sampling subsections) across the Saugeen River watershed within which annual biomass electrofishing surveys are performed to monitor the change in the fish community as a function of the removal of the Truax dam in Walkerton, Ontario, as part of a fisheries offset and compensation project.
