Hans,
A few years ago I completed a very extensive review of the injurious effects
electrofishing fields on fish, including early life stages and a very
comprehensive indexed bibliography. The citation is:
Snyder, D. E. 1992. Impacts of electrofishing on fish. Report of
Colorado State University Larval Fish Laboratory to U.S. Department of the
Interior Bureau of Reclamation, Salt Lake City, Utah, and Glen Canyon
Environmental Studies Aquatic Coordination Team, Flagstaff, Arizona.
Our supply of this 214-page report has been exhausted. However, paper or
microfiche copies are available through the Fish and Wildlife Reference
Service. Item request numbers and costs for clients other than cooperators
are listed below. There is no charge for U.S. federal or state agency
cooperators. Send or call your request to:
Fish and Wildlife Reference Service
5430 Grosvenor Lane, Suite 110
Bethesda, Maryland 20814-2158

Phone: 1-800-582-3421; fax: 1-301-564-4059
Request:
MIN# 809440039, Impacts of Electrofishing on Fish (Snyder 1992).
Paper copies (116 p. of report and 98 p. of appendices including an
854-reference indexed bibliography) -- $21.40 plus $2.50 for postage/handling.
Microfiche copies (3 fiche) -- $1.50 plus $2.50 for postage/handling.
The following articles were abstracted from that report (I can provide
photocopies if you don't have access to the publications):
Snyder, D. E. 1995. Impacts of electrofishing on fish. Fisheries
20(1):26-27.
Snyder, D. E. 1994. Effects of electrofishing on fish embryos, larvae,
and early juveniles. American Fisheries Society Early Life History Section
Newsletter 15(1):10-13.
Snyder, D. E. 1993. Effects of electrofishing on fish reproduction,
gametes, and offspring. American Fisheries Society Early Life History
Section Newsletter 14(3):27-29.
Since completion of that report in 1992, about 10 publications have
addressed research on the injurious effects of electrofishing. Most have
appeared in the North American Journal of Fisheries Management. I suggest
you scan volumes of that journal published since 1991.
I hope this response has been helpful.
