The transition between these two modes of work is anything but gradual and naturally anything but boring.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having the right tool for the job is important in any profession or trade. Chefs need sharp knives, house painters need high-volume sprayers and plumbers need adjustable wrenches. The same rule applies to fisheries biologists. We often use electrofishing to do our jobs, and it’s just what it sounds like: fishing with electricity.]]></description>
