    They are "electrofishing," which is a technique that captures fish by running a low electric current through the water.

    DFO officials have been in Massey Drive for the past week electrofishing at Link Pond. It’s a technique that captures fish by running a low electric current through the water. The reason this is happening is due to a goldfish infestation that first surfaced over a year ago, according to Town Manager Roger Hunt during an interview with Bayfm News this past July. It was believed the goldfish got there by someone releasing them into the pond, which could be disastrous for other fish. DFO will be there until this Sunday ( October 12th), and everyone is being asked to stay away from the area for safety reasons.
