PFBC BIOLOGISTS TO CONDUCT PUBLIC TRAP NETTING DEMONSTRATION
May 9, 2005
 
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission is inviting anglers and other interested members of the public to see firsthand how biologists conduct fisheries population studies.

A demonstration on the use of trap nets will take place at 6 p.m., Wednesday, May 18, at Shawnee Lake in Shawnee State Park, Bedford County. The demonstration will take place at the boat launch located near the midpoint of the lake off of Park Road near Picnic Area #2. The event will take place rain or shine.

Commission biologists will also discuss other fish sampling techniques, show and identify some of the fish caught from the lake, and answer any questions regarding fisheries management. Fisheries managers routinely sample waterways to record data on fish population numbers, composition and health. The information is used to make decisions on management options like stocking and establishing rules for recreational fishing, like what size fish anglers may keep and how many.
