Eradication of predatory fishes in fish ponds and nursery ponds using electricity

Even though most of them can be caught with ordinary gear such as cast net, drag net, scoop net etc. Total or absolute eradication is not possible and those left over are sufficient to destroy all the fingerlings introduced.
