Montana Fishery Project
Electroshocking to Induce Mortality of Lake Trout Embryos in Yellowstone Lake
July 2013 - June 2015

Participating Agencies
- Yellowstone National Park
The intent of this project is to refine and test a benthic oriented electrode array for reducing survival of lake trout embryos. The electrode array will be developed and lab tested in the spring and early summer. In situ experiments will be conducted in the autumn of 2013. This project will supplement an ongoing Montana State University project to develop an identical electrode array for the same purpose in Swan Lake, Montana. The funding outlined below would support expansion of the Swan Lake project to include similar methodologies in Yellowstone Lake.
