    My reason for concurring
    in this case
    is that the record does
    not explain why alternative techniques such as electroshocking
    or
    seining are not viable.
    All that is present is a conclusion that
    they are not.
    Wherever possible,
    the introduction of chemicals to a body of
    water ought to be avoided.
    Research may not have been done on all
    possible synergistic effects and at some future date we may wish
    that non—chemical means
    of counting fish had been used.
