| Steve Robertson, U.S. Forest Service, helps Dale Hepworth, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Fisheries Program Manager, capture, weigh and measure each cutthroat, before replacing it back into the stream. |
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and U.S. Forest Service personnel use special "electroshocking" equipment to sample fish populations throughout the stream. |
The probe is harmless, and simply works by creating a small electrical current in the water, which interferes with the fish's ability to navigate, causing it to rise to the surface. |
