Sea biologists with the administration of the Tennessee Valley began to review fish populations in Douglas Lake in Dandridge, Tennessee, for the first time since Hurricane Helene Christian covered many waterways in the eastern Tennessee seven months ago.
The data they collect could illustrate an impact that had excessive debris on the population of sports fish. The findings will be compared to similar research on Douglas Lake in the last 30 years. Less fish in a lake or fish with deformities, parasites or injuries would be red flags in the spawning season.
Scientists shocked the water around their research ship, which tensed the muscles of all fish In a circle of four feet from the ship. Once the fish floated to the top, it was examined on the flaws, measured and weighed.
All fish were released back into the water after the study.
