Water quality - Guidance on the scope and selection of fish sampling methods

This document defines methods for sampling fish and procedures for selection of methods in order to evaluate fish populations in rivers, lakes and transitional waters. A selected literature with references in support of this document is given in the bibliography. This document refers to the standards "Water quality - Sampling of fish with electricity" (EN 14011) and "Water quality - Sampling of fish with multi-mesh gillnets" (EN 14757).

Within a river or transitional water, categories according to the Tables 1 and 3 usually change from lower to higher ones according to longitudinal changes. But also within a relatively short stretch of a river or transitional water, categories can change from lower to higher ones and vice versa. In this case, the area itself of a river or transitional water, and not the whole river or transitional water, should be classified according to the given categories. 6 Fish sampling 6.1 General Sampling methods are separated into methods by capture (6.2) and data sampling without fish capture (6.3). The principles are explained and the target water types or categories and fish species are given. The suitability of the methods is evaluated depending on the different water categories and their habitats as well as the target species. Target species are those species which can efficiently be caught by a particular method. Tables 4 to 6 provide a synopsis on sampling methods suitable or useful for the determination of the population parameters. Methods not described below may be used in order to obtain additional information. They shall not be used exclusively. 6.2 Fish sampling by capture 6.2.1 Principle of fish capture Fish may be caught by active gear (6.2.2 to 6.2.4) or passive (6.2.5 to 6.2.10). For all gear seasonal aspects shall be taken into account. The efficiency of active gear (electric fishing, seining, trawling) especially may vary considerably depending on the time (day/night) of use. Active gear is characterized by a comparatively short-term use, whereas passive ones normally are exposed over longer time periods. The fishing devices used shall be adapted to the local conditions as well as to the expected fish community. If it is intended to
