The Kings River Fisheries Management Program is gearing up for its annual fish “check in.” The program is seeking volunteers over 18 to assist biologists Nov. 18, Dec. 2 and Dec. 3 to conduct its annual fish population survey. … The survey provides critical insight into the balance, biodiversity and health of the fish in the lower Kings River and ensures the ecosystem is thriving. Biologists and volunteers will use electrofishing equipment, which shocks but does not harm the fish, to collect and examine fish, collecting data such as size, density, the fish’s condition and the variety of fish in the river.
