The Platform: A novel non-invasive fish monitoring method

Written by
Dr Joseph Merz has developed a new, minimally invasive fish-sampling method to improve data collection on rare and endangered fish species across multiple habitats, allowing for water data collection at the same time

Estuary environments are incredibly variable, both spatially and temporally, which can make fish monitoring using traditional sampling gear difficult. Dr Joseph Merz, of Cramer Fish Sciences, has developed a new non-invasive sampling gear for this purpose. The Single-Platform Aquatic Species and Habitat Sampling System (or The Platform) is able to monitor fish communities and their habitat interactions across various habitat […]
