Fish Surveys and Fish Rescue

Our fish surveys use industry‑standard electrofishing techniques to safely assess fish populations in rivers, streams, ponds and other waterbodies. Electrofishing employs a controlled electric current to temporarily stun fish, allowing them to be netted, identified, measured and released unharmed. This method provides reliable data on species presence, abundance, size and population health to support planning, regulatory compliance and ecological decision‑making.

We also offer fish rescue services, which are essential when in‑water works or drainage activities could otherwise harm aquatic life. Using electrofishing alongside netting methods, our qualified team safely captures fish and relocates them to suitable habitat or holding tanks before construction or environmental management begins. Every fish is handled with care to ensure welfare and minimise stress, and all activities are conducted under relevant permits and best practice guidelines.

Whether you need a baseline fish survey for an ecological assessment, ongoing monitoring to track habitat condition, or a pre‑emptive rescue ahead of works, we provide expert support tailored to your project and conservation objectives.
