We have partnered with the Canadian Rivers Institute to offer specialized programs and courses.
Electrofishing is a commonly used fish collection method in streams, rivers, and lakes. Although not legislated in most provinces in Canada (except for BC and ON), electrofishing training provides employers with evidence of due diligence and provides trainees with adequate knowledge of the risks and safety features of these machines.
This certificate is recognized by DFO as acceptable backpack electrofishing training.
Note: There are reduced rates for full-time students and NGOs, contact the CABIN training program coordinator unbcricourses@unb.ca for more information.
This course is considered a "blended" course—course materials are delivered via an online course, and then all participants must complete a field practicum (half day).
Please register well in advance of field training to ensure timely and sufficient access to the online materials before the field practicum.
The Electrofishing Refresher course consists of the field training portion of the Full Electrofishing Course (ENV 3000) only, and therefore, students are not required to complete the online portion.
Electrofishing certificate recipients should recertify every 5 years to refresh their skills and update their certificate.
Note: There are reduced rates for full-time students and NGOs, contact the CABIN training program coordinator unbcricourses@unb.ca for more information.
