INVESTIGATING UNDERWATER VIDEO TECHNOLOGY
The IEP has been working on developing underwater video technology and software for sampling pelagic fishes in the Delta and Estuary. This technology could allow researchers to sample without lethal take of threatened and endangered species. Investigators have been field testing the feasibility of enumerating and distinguishing between pelagic fishes in the turbid environment of the Delta, with a prototype that is submersible, airtight and neutrally buoyant. Questions can be directed to investigators Don Portz (USBR) at DPortz@usbr.gov and Darren Odom (SureWorks, LLc.) at darren.odom@sureworksllc.com.

Research
Abundance of some introduced predators have increased in recent years and may have important impacts on native fishes in the Delta. Our recent studies have focused on the distribution, abundance, and diet of largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides.
