SUMMARY:Advanced Electrofishing – Online
DESCRIPTION:Backpack electrofishing is one of the most commonly used fish capture techniques in freshwater\, yet to be effective it must be done with strategy and care. The standard certification programs\, while necessary and essential\, focus on the safety aspects and how to conduct this form of fish sampling in a safe manner. Left out\, however\, are strategies and tactics to actually capture the wild fish in a stream. To assist practitioners in capturing more fish when doing this work\, NRTG’s Advanced Electrofishing MicroCourse provides students with lessons learned over decades on how to effectively capture fish using this tool.

SUMMARY:Planning & Designing Fish Habitat Assessments – Online
DESCRIPTION:In this MicroCourse presented by NRTG\, participants will examine how to design fish habitat assessments based on the desired project objective. Are we doing a baseline survey in advance of a proposed development? A reconnaissance survey? Or perhaps designing a monitoring program that will measure potential habitat changes downstream from a mine or forestry project? Perhaps an assessment to identify limiting factors to fish production and from this design restoration activities? Each of these will require different approaches to the assessment to gather the important information on which to make decisions. Planning & Designing Fish Habitat Assessments will provide guidance on how to select the appropriate methods depending upon the purpose of the survey.

SUMMARY:Identification and Control Methods of Common Weeds in Western Canada – Online
DESCRIPTION:In this course delivered by NRTG\, presenters will cover the most common weed species found in Western Canada\, including their identification. Accurate identification is crucial\, as different control methods—ranging from chemical to mechanical—vary in effectiveness depending on the species. Some methods may even exacerbate the problem if applied incorrectly. Participants will examine each control method and its effectiveness for the common species.

SUMMARY:Estimating Fish Abundance – Online
DESCRIPTION:Presented by NRTG\, the micro-course Estimating Fish Abundance  introduces the student to methods of estimating fish abundance and includes considerations of effect of gear type and survey design on final abundance estimates. This course is very light on statistics and is intended for an audience seeking an overview of abundance estimation methods and the influence of the field work aspect upon those estimates.

SUMMARY:Large River Fish – Management of Aquatic Predators – Online
DESCRIPTION:In this course presented by NRTG\, participants will explore the life histories of various aquatic predators\, invasive fish\, and marine mammals in major rivers worldwide. Students will also learn about management strategies used to balance these ecosystems\, examining the successes and challenges of adaptive measures aimed at controlling or eliminating these aquatic predators\, with a focus on practices in the US and Canada.
