Measurement of Some Factors Affecting the Catch in a Minnow Seine

Abstract

In a study of the effects of drought and flood on fishes of a small stream (Paloumpis, 1958), it was necessary to compare the fish population at different seasons on as quantitative a basis as possible. Wire traps, an electric shocker, and rotenone were used to collect some of the data, but most of the quantitative data for comparative purposes were secured by regularly seining with a 20-foot common sense minnow seine.
