Electric Fishing!

Well the mind boggled! but turned out to be interesting! This conservation work helps them work out the quality of our rivers and the wildlife that lives in them!
step 1 net off an area of the river
step 2 walk in front of a generator with large netless hoops that generate 240v
step 3 waft at fish in river, the electric current attracts them (stupid fish!) then they go all sleepy so you can catch them!
step 4 collect all specimins eccept ducks, rats, dogs and children.
Step 5 measure and record information and then set free in an area away from the netted area so you can sweep the netted area again and again till you have emplties it!
step 6 remove nets and go home for a well deserved cuppa and a big slice of cake!
