140FS225Q0035 Electrofishing Unit Page 1 of 2 Jones Hole National Fish Hatchery

General Narrative:

Jones Hole National Fish Hatchery has a requirement for a Smith-Root Apex backpack electrofishing unit and related accessories to sample for and prevent Whirling Disease from entering the facility. This unit will be used to remove any fish above the fish barrier on Jones Hole Creek that may be present in the bypass channel adjacent to the hatchery. This unit will also be used to sample below the fish barrier to evaluate Whirling Disease prevalence in the native trout population. It is crucial to ensure Whirling

Disease is prevented from entering the facility. No fish should be present in the bypass channel or springs on the east or west side of the hatchery.
