TVA Fish Rescue
June 30th, 2009 by Renée HoyosThis just in from TVA:
Due to rising water temperatures, TVA will be moving fish from east of Dike 2 into the Emory River. Water temperatures east of Dike 2 are rising. As temperatures go up, dissolved oxygen goes down. These conditions cause stress to fish trapped in this body of water and could cause a fish kill. To prevent this, TVA will collect the fish by electroshocking, then will remove them and transport them to be released into the Emory River near the end of Lakeshore Drive. This process is not harmful to the fish; TVA uses electro-shocking to perform its sportfish surveys every year. The fish rescue will take most of the day to complete. The best place to view the move is on Swan Pond Circle Road just west of the intersection with Lakeshore Drive.
