Echoes in Darkness

Echoes in darkness

Helicopter surveys might be the most visible population surveys Game and Fish completes, but some surveys occur under the cover of darkness. One of these surveys is conducted not just at night but often on the darkest nights of the summer — those that fall around each month’s new moon. This almost mythical sounding survey is not for elk, pronghorn or any other terrestrial wildlife. *Hydroacoustic surveys* [ [link removed] ] are used to monitor fish populations in large lakes and reservoirs across Wyoming.
