1. who determines regulations for electrofishing? WorkSafeBC (also known
as the workers compensa-
tion board).
2. what first aid course is required for all electrofishing an acceptable first aid
crews? what important first aid component must be course with a CPR compo-
reviewed in that course? nent is required, such as
an OFA level 1 certificate in
BC. all crews must carry a
basic first aid kit.
3. how many crew personnel must be certified in an elec- all personnel must be cer-
trofishing crew? tified.
4. how many crew personnel must have a "crew supervi- minimum one per crew.
sor" certification in an electrofishing crew?
5. what is the minimum number of people that must be minimum two, typically
in an electrofishing crew? three.
6. describe current and its unit of measurement the flow of an electrical
charge through a conduc-
tor. measured in amperes
or amps (A)
7. describe resistance and its unit of measurement the difficulty of an electri-
cal force passing through
a circuit. measured in
Ohms (Ω)
8. describe voltage and its unit of measurement the potential energy be-
tween two points on a cir-
cuit. measured in volts (V)

9. describe conductivity and its unit of measurement the ease of which an elec-
trical current has passing
through a conductor. mea-
sured in siemens or mi-
crosiemens (μS)
10. what is the negative electrode called? cathode
11. what is the positive electrode called? anode
12. list two methods to decrease resistance in water 1. stir up sediment
2. add electrolytes to the
water (i.e. salt lick or rock
salt).
13. list at least two methods to decrease resistance in 1. use a larger anode ring
electrofishing equipment 2. clean the anode ring
3. change the distance be-
tween electrodes
4. move from shallow to
deep water
14. show Ohm's Law as an equation I = V/R
15. show Watt's Law as an equation P = VxI or P = V²/R
16. why is watt's law important when considering voltage a small increase in voltage
settings for electrofishing? equals an increase in pow-
er
17. what is the ideal water temperature range for conduct- between 7° to 16° celsius
ing electrofishing?
18.
