Norville Prosser, Research Fish Biologist and his assistant, Ron Privett with local Game Warden Irvin L. Kenyon jr. and John Morris, a U. Va. student, checked the Thornton River with an electric seine last week. Current for the 30-foot seine is generated by a 230 volt motor producing about one ampere. The pulsating current draws the fish to the positive electrode and they are stunned, then netted and placed in a tub of water. Here they revive and are measured and weighted, then give up a few scales for laboratory study and returned to their habitat.
The commission personnel on this project must wear insulated clothing, rubber gloves, and pants or hip boots. The seine creates heat in the water which is an excellent conductor of electricity and one of the net men must be ready to disengage the current
