If all we do for that customer is an electrofishing survey, they can expect to spend $800 plus mileage (diesel fuel is $1.70 right now). If we travel overnight, expenses and rates go up proportionately.
If we examine the entire site, dam, watershed, map the lake bottom, analyze water and/or soils, measure the lake, calculate water volume, run profiles on all fish...the cost can certainly rise to $2,000.
A complete analysis of a lake uses more tools and experience than just an electrofishing boat.
