Electro-Shock

Electrofishing is one tool fisheries biologists use to sample stream-dwelling fish. A generator mounted on a backpack delivers electricity to a probe which creates an electric field. The electric field temporarily stuns fish within its reach, making them both visible and immobile for easy capture.
