What We Do
In a large pond or lake, a fish population survey is essential to achieve your fishery goals.
Periodically fishing the pond or lake is unlikely to provide you with accurate representation of the various species present and their abundance. An existing fish population can often be quantified by electrofishing. Electrofishing equipment applies a direct current to the water column to stun fish. Once collected, fish can be identified, counted, weighed, and aged. Using standardized techniques, it is possible to determine the relative abundance and growth rates of the fish, identify disproportionate numbers of fish within the population, and obtain a more accurate view of fish health and the ecosystem as a whole.
The information collected and analyzed helps Jones Lake Management biologists develop a customized fish stocking and population management plan. Depending on individual goals, this customized plan may focus on strategies to increase size, quantities, growth rates, or the overall productivity of the pond. Custom population management strategies provide pond owners with an enjoyable, sustainable, and long-term fishery.
Reviews
I know nothing about ponds, and I bought a property with one. I was certain I was killing the fish through my ignorance. I heard about this place and now I know I’ll be a lifelong customer.
