This is taking the concept of 'catch and release' to new heights, although invasive species such as carp and goldfish were not so lucky.
A crew from the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District caught and released 2,558 native species fish at Lower Shaker Lake on Aug. 23. This was ahead of plans to lower the water level by 18 inches during the week of Labor Day to inspect the 150-year-old dam and spillway. The fish were re-introduced further downstream into Doan Brook. Invasive species such as carp and goldfish were left behind, as required by state guidelines.
Crew members have to wear rubber waders and gloves to prevent shocks to the human system if they come in contact with metal throughout the process. The inspection will be needed for plans in the coming years to reconstruct Lower Lake’s 150-year-old historic “Class I ” dam and bring itOfficials noted that invasive species of fish residing in Lower Lake will not be removed and may not be as fortunate once the lake level is lowered.
As for the native species already moved downstream, they were mostly green sunfish , followed by pumpkinseed sunfish .
