Australian Code of Electrofishing Practice

AUSTRALIAN CODE OF ELECTROFISHING PRACTICE

This national code was prepared under the auspices of the Fishery Management sub-committee ofthe Standing Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture (SCFFA). The contribution of all thosewho were involved in the preparation of the code is gratefully acknowledged. The Code ofPractice resulted from the international Workshop on Developments in Electrofishing conductedin Canberra, March 1995, by the Cooperative Centre for Freshwater Ecology. The code wasapproved at SCFFA 37 in Adelaide on July 23rd 1997.

1. OBJECTIVES OF THE CODE OF PRACTICE

Electrofishing has become an essential sampling tool in the study of freshwater fish ecology.Although used by research groups in Australia for over 30 years, there has been no national codeof practice to ensure safe operation and certification of equipment. Several states have had theirown guidelines, but increasing use throughout the country means the time has come for aconsistent and coordinated approach to training and safety.

To ensure safe operation of electrofishing equipment -

i) The apparatus must conform to a national standard in design and construction, and bemaintained and inspected by qualified electrical mechanics and electronic technicians.

ii) Electrofishing personnel must be certified free of major heart or respiratory complaints bya medical practitioner; be trained in the fundamentals of electricity, correct and safeelectrofishing procedures and first aid including cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

iii) All electrofishing operations must follow the standard safety guidelines outlined below.

2. HAZARDS OF ELECTROFISHING

Electrofishing equipment uses voltages and currents that can be lethal to humans. Direct effectsof electric shock may include heart failure, respiratory interference or electrical burns. There mayalso be indirect injuries through a worker recoiling violently and striking an object.

The main sources of potential risk of electric shock during electrofishing operations are:

i) Bodily contact with energised electrodes of opposite polarity.

ii) Bodily contact with water within the electric field.

iii) Shocks from inadequately constructed or insulated equipment.

Other hazards that must be recognised include drowning, fire, exhaust gases, and the increasedrisk of accident due to fatigue.

It is easy for experienced operators to become complacent about the dangers involved inelectrofishing, but they are always present and must be constantly guarded against by regularchecks and maintenance to minimise the risk of accidents.

126

3. STAFF TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION

All electrofishing operations must be carried out under the supervision and control of a SeniorOperator who has been awarded a Certificate of Competency in Electrofishing Procedures andSafety for the particular type of equipment being used i.e. backpack, shore-based, or boat-mounted.

Initially, certificates will be awarded to persons who can provide evidence of having experienceusing a particular electrofishing gear type for at least 20 sessions (an electrofishing “session” ascited in this document refers to a single complete electrofishing operation consisting of gear setup, safety checks, sampling, and gear dismantling. In this way, several “sessions” may occur inone day if more than one site is sampled).

The evidence of experience may consist of a signed statement from a university department,research section or commercial licence authority, plus a current Senior First-aid Certificate orequivalent including CPR, and a recent medical certificate stating freedom from major heart orrespiratory complaints that the examining doctor considers could pose a significant risk shouldeven a minor electrical shock occur. Certificate holders will be provided with a manual outliningelectrofishing theory, procedures and safety which they will be required to follow.

The onus will then be on these Senior Operators to train and supervise other staff and studentsunder their control, complying strictly with the requirements outlined in the above manual. Allelectrofishing team trainees must have also completed a first aid certificate and pass a medicalexamination, and are required to keep a log of their hours using each gear type. On reaching 50hours, their supervisor will sign and forward the log to the National Electrofishing Safety andTraining Administrator, who will issue a certificate for that gear type only.

For persons who have already qualified as Senior Operators with one gear type, a further 5sessions will be the requirement to gain authorisation for additional electrofishing types. Traineeswill need to keep a separate log of their hours of use with each gear type.

First-aid certificates and medicals must be updated every 2 years.

4. EQUIPMENT

4.1 Construction standards

4.1.1 General

i) All Electrofishing equipment must be constructed only by qualified electrical mechanicsand electronic technicians. Wiring and general construction must comply with theStandards Association of Australia regulations (AS 3000, AS 3004, AS 3010.1, AS 3100,AS 1939).

ii) Each electrofishing unit must be accompanied by a detailed instruction manual and gearlog book that contains hours and places of use, operators’ names, maintenance andelectrical checklists.

iii) Mains electricity must never be used for any electrofishing operation. Non-standard plugsmust be used to prevent connection to the public power supply.

iv) The maximum voltage output allowable is 1000V. Only DC current is to be used for theelectrical fields due to its tendency to cause fewer injuries to fish and being lessdangerous to operators in the event of an accident. Approval to use AC may be granted inspecial research circumstances only, e.g. for studies into the effects of different electricalfields on fish behaviour, physiology and mortality.

v) All cable and connectors must be non-interchangeable, waterproof, and give adequatemechanical protection, and all cabling must be of stranded multicore conductors.

vi) Batteries must be sealed type or housed in spill proof marine battery containers.

vii) Generator output must not be earthed but must be isolated from the frame so that powercan only enter the water via the electrodes. This involves removing the earth wire thatgrounds the frame to the output circuit. The frame however must still be earthed via anearth stake for shore mounted units, or by grounding to all other metal objects within aboat, whether the boat is metal or non-metal. In non-metal boats, the outboard motormust be grounded as well. Electrofishing generators must be clearly labelled and mustnot be used for other purposes.

viii) Generators and control boxes must not be carried while running or energised (exceptspecifically designed backpack units).

viii) Generators and control boxes must not be carried while running or energised (exceptspecifically designed backpack units).

5

ix) Control boxes must be IP34 rated (see Appendix B), protected by current and/or thermaloverload, and fitted with a large red latching “STOP” button to interrupt power supplyfrom the generator to the control circuitry. An ammeter must be fitted to measure controlbox output, and a lamp to indicate when the unit is energised and the electrodes are live.It is recommended that a voltmeter and audible signal emitter be fitted as well. Large,easily visible warning signs indicating the danger of high voltage are to be attached.

Due to the cooling vents present on the control boxes of some electrofishing equipment,care must be taken to prevent the entry of water into the electronics when cleaning orduring rain. A waterproof cover is recommended when the apparatus is not in use.

x) Power to the electrodes must be switched by at least one “deadman” or fail-safe switch. All control-switch circuits must be extra low voltage (< 32VAC or < 115VDC) - neverdirectly switching the anode supply.

xi) Hand held anodes must not be used in metal boats or be fitted with dip nets except whenconnected to a backpack rather than generator powered unit, although this procedure isnot recommended. All anode poles and dipnet handles must be made of a non-conductivematerial with no metal core but not wood. Carbon-fibre reinforced poles are likely to beconductors of electricity and must be thoroughly tested for insulation properties if beingconsidered for use.

4.1.2 Backpacks

i) Battery powered backpack units must use only fully sealed dry cells as a power source.Specifically designed generator powered units are not recommended, but if used it isrecommended that they be fitted with earth leakage circuit breakers at the generatoroutput.

ii) The backpack unit must incorporate a quick release harness, a deadman switch on theanode pole, and be fitted with a mercury tilt switch that cuts off power input from thebattery or generator whenever the unit is tilted at more than a 450 angle. The tilt switchcan have an automatic reset - although a manual button that can be reset by the operator isrecommended. The unit must have an audible alarm when in use.

iii) Backpack electrofishing is not recommended in water deeper than operator crotch depth.

iv) If a backpack unit is operated from a boat, it must be ensured that the cathode is isolatedfrom the boat hull. It is also recommended that two foot-pedal safety switches connectedin series be incorporated.

v) Backpack units must meet IP 37 standards (see Appendix B)

4.1.3 Shore-based units

i) Generators must be safely anchored and not capable of falling or being pulled into thewater by the anode cable. The generator must be manned at all times during electrofishingoperations, and electrode and dipnet crew must be in line of sight or in radio contact withthe generator attendant.

ii) Only one anode is permissible per generator unit. Generators and control boxes must notbe carried while energised. Hand held anodes must incorporate a deadman switch on theanode pole.

iii) Electrode and dipnet crews may operate from a boat using a shore-based generator in safeconditions providing the anode is fixed not hand held, and floating cable is recommendedto minimise the risk of snagging. Boat size and requirements such as foot switches andhand rails are as for boat-mounted units.

4.1.4 Boat-mounted units (min. 3.5m)

i) The boat driver must be a holder of the relevant local boating licence and be sufficientlyexperienced with the size of boat being used and in the river or lake conditions present.The boat must be adequately stable and have ample freeboard when fully loaded withgear, crew, plus with a full catch of fish on commercial electrofishing boats.

ii) For boats under 4.0m x 1.2m, a crew of only two is allowed and maximum generator sizeis 5 kVA.

iii) Anodes must be fixed to the bow and not capable of touching any part of the boat, andcables are to be channelled or clipped to boat sides to prevent tripping.

iv) To reduce the risk of dipnetter staff accidents, fixed or removable hand rails of at least700mm height must be fitted and non-skid flooring is recommended.

v) The drivers of electrofishing boats must use foot operated deadman switches which mustbe operated simultaneously with boat netters, who must have either:a) at least one foot operated switch (several may be connected in parallel if more than onenetter is used), orb) “life-line” belt cord cut-out switches.

vi) All lighting and ancillary electrical equipment must be extra-low voltage (<32VAC or<115VDC).

vii) Large red DANGER warning signs must be displayed on each side of the boat.

viii) Generators and control boxes must be fixed in position during operation.

4.2 Suppliers

It is recommended that only approved, commercially produced equipment (e.g. Smith-Root,Coffelt, etc.) be used. Locally built units must undergo strict testing and comply with thechecklist in Appendix A.

4.3 Maintenance requirements

i) All equipment should be carefully inspected by a Senior Operator for mechanical faults,worn insulation, loose components and connections etc. prior to and following alloperations.

ii) Each electrofishing unit must have its own log book to record details of hours of use,maintenance, repairs and inspection details.

iii) Regular electrical safety checks must be performed by a licensed electrician on allelectrofishing units, the minimum requirement being insulation and voltage-outputtesting. These checks must be performed every 12 months or 600 logged hours(whichever is reached first) for fisheries research agencies and universities, and every 6months or 600 logged hours for commercial operations.

iv) Multiple units (e.g. several backpacks) should be individually numbered to allow accuraterecords of maintenance and repairs to be kept.

4.4 Personal insulation and safety

i) Rubber boots or waders, plus 1000V rated linesmen gloves must be worn by all electrofishing team members during operations.

ii) Life jackets must be worn by backpacking and shore based crews (self-inflating jacketsthat use at least 33g CO2 cylinders are permissible) in any dangerous situation where thewater depth is greater than 500mm. It is recommended that they or standard PFD type 1 or2 jackets be worn by boat dip-netters as well.

5. OPERATIONS PRACTICES

5.1 Size of teams

A minimum of two operators are required for all electrofishing except shore-based units wheretwo plus the generator operator are needed.

8

5.2 Public safety

i) Spectators must be warned to keep away, and no electrofishing can be performed within50m of other boats or shore viewers. In public areas, it is recommended that signs beerected warning people to keep their distance.

ii) It is not recommended that observers be allowed on electrofishing boats duringoperations. If present, they must be warned of the dangers involved and fully equippedwith all necessary safety equipment. They may be required to sign indemnity formsstating that they suffer from no major heart or respiratory complaint, and that the crewwill not be held responsible in the event of an accident.

5.3 Weather and site limitations

Electrofishing should never be conducted in rain or rough water conditions. It is up to the SeniorOperator to decide whether conditions such as current, wind, navigability and weather are safeand suitable or not.

5.4 Working procedures

i) Senior Operators are responsible for checking correct setup of equipment, crew safetyclothing and readiness before starting the generator. Anodes must be in the water, and aretreated as live at any time the generator is running.

ii) Relevant local authorities must be notified prior to any electrofishing, e.g. FisheriesOfficers, National Parks and water management bodies.

iii) Never put unprotected parts of the body in the water if the generator is running. Stunnedfish must only be removed from the water using insulated dip nets - never attempt to graba fish by hand!

iv) If anodes become fouled on snags or trees, the generator must be stopped before attempting to free them.

v) No smoking is allowed in the vicinity of petrol tanks or during operations.

vi) It is recommended that the electrofishing team have access to communications at all timesin case of emergency.

vii) All equipment should be stored in a dry, clean, and secure place.

5.5 Care of fish

Only the minimum power necessary to attract and stun the fish effectively should be used.Contact of fish with live anodes should be avoided, as the resulting shock will be much greater. Ifthreatened species are observed that are not being targeted, appropriate measures must be takento minimise disturbance and stress to these fish. Commercial operations must also take action to

minimise harm to any species that they are not authorised to catch under the conditions of theirlicence. 5.6 Care of other fauna

i) Electrofishing must be halted within 15m of any animals standing in or about to drinkfrom the water, or in contact with a wire fence line that enters the water.

ii) The utmost care possible should be taken to avoid shocking platypus, birds and othernative aquatic animals.

5.7 Transfer of Biological Material

The utmost care must be taken to prevent the transfer of biological material between waterways.There are risks of introducing major weeds such as alligator weed or water hyacinth; noxious fishsuch as carp, redfin perch and gambusia; or disease organisms such as EHN virus.

All gear (including nets, traps, boats, trailer, etc.) must be thoroughly cleaned of plant materialand sun dried. The live-well and deck of electrofishing boats should be flushed with poolchlorine solution or sodium metabisulphite when on land to ensure no material is transferred.

Extreme care must be taken when entering pristine or protected (such as municipal watersupplies) waterways, or when sampling is done in waterways infested with weeds or alienspecies.

5.8 Accidents and emergency procedures

Appropriate first aid kits and dry chemical type fire extinguishers should be present on allelectrofishing boats larger than 4.5m, in the vicinity of all other gear types, and be readilyaccessible in an emergency.

In the event of an accident:i) switch off power supply at control boxii) stop generatoriii) if casualty is consciousness, check pulse and respirationiv) begin resuscitation if either is absentv) apply first-aid for any injuriesvi) have any electric-shock casualty examined by a doctor as soon as possible even if they

appear to be fully recoveredvii) report all accidents involving electrocution to the National Electrofishing Safety and

Training Administrator within 14 days.

Any generator, control box or backpack unit that is not of a completely sealed type and isaccidently immersed in water must be removed from service immediately and tested for waterdamage by a licensed electrician before further use.

e.g. for control boxes, IP34 means “protected against the ingress of solid foreign objects >2.5mm diameter, against access to hazardous parts with tools, and ingress of water with harmfuleffects by splashing”. For backpack units (IP37), the last section reads “....and against the ingressof water with harmful effects by temporary immersion”.

Some minor modifications may be necessary to commercially available electrofishing controlboxes, including some Smith-Root modules, to enable them to comply with these requirements.For example, the grills covering the air vents may need to be replaced with a finer mesh.
