Fish Rescues and Removals
​
Our team has extensive experience in fish rescue and fish removal. We guarantee that projects such as channel diversion, dewatering and drain downs will be completed on time, on budget, and in compliance with relevant legislation. All of our fish rescue and fish removal specialists are CSCS trained to the appropriate level, as well as site supervisors (SSSTS).
​
We can obtain all required permits and consents on your behalf and resolve issues that you cannot resolve alone, via liaison, consultation, and early contractor involvement provided by our ecologists.
What is fish rescue/fish removal?
If rivers, canals, lakes, or other water bodies are dewatered or managed, fish removal or rescue will be an integral part of the process. A fish rescue/fish removal service can also provide reservoir maintenance and decommissioning; repair of bridges and culverts; and the capture and transportation of fish to a safe environment to prevent mortality. In some cases, fish removals/fish rescues are necessary for fisheries management purposes such as reducing the stock biomass.
​
How is it done?
​
The techniques used for fish rescues/fish removals are similar to those used in fish surveys: a combination of electric fishing and netting is used to safely capture and relocate fish that are present in a body of water.
Whenever fish are caught, they are temporarily held in a facility that meets the highest welfare standards until they are moved to a receptor site that has been agreed upon by regulatory authorities.
