After
the three passes are completed, measuring can begin. The last pass
is done first. Sometimes carbon dioxide is added to pacify the fish.
This enables easier handling and more accurate measurements.
Fish length
is taken from tip of head to tip of caudal fin.

Fish are then weighed (white box in left on the left) and
returned to the creek. Nets are taken down and the stream section
is recorded with a GPS for future reference.
