Officials from TVA will survey aquatic life at the Chickamauga Resevoir on Wednesday.
TVA regularly monitors fish and other aquatic life in various reservoirs across the Tennessee Valley region and invites local anglers and the public to participate. The fish are collected using boat-mounted, electro-fishing equipment. The units harmlessly stun the fish for a brief time and bring them to the surface, where they are examined and evaluated by TVA biologists. TVA also samples bottom-dwelling organisms to help measure overall reservoir health.
The survey will be Wednesday, at 8:30 a.m. at the Chickamauga Reservoir, Kings Point Roa ramp near Chickamauga Dam. TVA Fisheries biologists, local anglers and the public will participate.
The event will be held rain or shine. For more information, visit: www.tva.gov/Electrofishing-for-everyone.
