Developments presented include changes in technique, which extend the scope of the method to streams 40 to 60 feet in width; and modifications of the equipment to increase the safety of the operators. Projects to which the electric shock method has been applied are reviewed briefly. Recovery tests are reported in streams of widely varying character.
