- Abstract
The article presents a study on testing a modification to a standard passive drift net to capture drifting ichthyofauna. A wide diversity of gear types is available for the collection of larval and juvenile fishes in freshwater habitats. There are two main techniques that sample downstream drifting dispersal phase of eggs and larvae for several fish species in Australia. The small size of the net provides manageable sample sizes and can be set at various depths and replicated many times. The standard passive drift net proved to be effective in the capture of drifting eggs and larval stages of riverine fish. Furthermore, the researchers revealed that the funnel net does not appear as an effective in the capture of eggs and larvae as the standard passive net.
