Population Control of Exotic Rainbow Trout in Streams of a National Park
Moore SE, Larson GL, Ridley BL. 1986. Population Control of Exotic Rainbow Trout in Streams of a National Park. Environmental Management. 10(2):215 - 219
Six years of electrofishing and removal of rainbow trout from selected streams resulted in a greatly reduced density of rainbow trout and a large increase in the brook trout population. Complete eradication of the exotic species was deemed to be impossible with this technique, while partial control was demonstrated.
