Prattville High School Environmental Science Class at Lanark
November 6, 2008

Mrs. Boyd's Environmental Science Class prepares to collect channel catfish, November 2008, to see if they catfish are growing or are too crowded.

Mrs. Boyd's girls show they are ready to catch some channel catfish with nets.

Laura is ready to record data on the length and weight of the fish.

 
John Hoomes prepares to collect a fish the hard way, rod and reel.

John Hoomes of the Alabama Wildlife Federation shows the students how to measure a fish.

 
Stealthful seining resulted in more than 50 channel catfish being collected.

 
Students close the seine on the catfish.

 
The seine is kept on the bottom so no catfish are lost.

The catfish are confined into a smaller and smaller area.

 
Kristen and Elizabeth move channel catfish to be weighed and measured.

 
Catfish are moved to a holding barrel to be weighed and measured as scales are available.

Ms. Boyd moves a channel catfish for the Prattville High School Environmental Science class.

Friends work together to move catfish.
