Mini Fish Measuring Board (Product Code: SLE/EZ/25) is a lightweight PVC board used to measure the length of small fish quickly and consistently during fisheries, ecology and zoology fieldwork. A raised lip positions the fish, a built-in handle makes it easy to carry, and three scales — in eighths of an inch, tenths of an inch and centimetres — are silk-screened in high-resolution black. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Fish length is one of the most useful measurements in a freshwater survey: it shows the size range of a population, helps separate young fish from adults, and can be plotted as a length-frequency chart back in class. On a measuring board, the fish lies on its side with its snout pushed gently against the raised lip, and the length is read where the tail ends, so every student measures in the same way.
Having inch and centimetre scales on one board lets a group record in the unit their worksheet asks for, or practise converting between them. Wet the board before each fish so the protective slime layer is not rubbed off, measure quickly, and return the fish to water straight away. Rinse the board in clean water afterwards and let it dry. It is a handy addition to zoology lab equipment used on fisheries and pond-study courses.
This mini fish measuring board is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, of Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, fisheries training centres and dealers can order it in field-kit quantities, with nets, traps and aerators on the same quotation, for customers in India and international markets.

Which scales are printed on the Mini Fish Measuring Board?
The Mini Fish Measuring Board carries three scales: inches in eighths, inches in tenths and centimetres. They are silk-screened in high-resolution black, so students can read and record lengths in whichever unit their survey uses.
What size is the Mini Fish Measuring Board?
The Mini Fish Measuring Board is listed as 15 in long and 16 x 5 x 1.5 in. The listing does not make clear which figure is the scale length, so ask through our contact page if the exact measuring range matters.
What is the raised lip on the Mini Fish Measuring Board for?
The raised lip on the Mini Fish Measuring Board acts as a stop for the fish's snout. With the snout against the lip, the length is read at the tail, giving consistent measurements between students.
What material is the Mini Fish Measuring Board made from?
The Mini Fish Measuring Board is made of lightweight PVC with a built-in handle. PVC can be rinsed after each use, and the light weight suits carrying the board to ponds and streams.
How do I measure a fish without harming it on the Mini Fish Measuring Board?
Wet the Mini Fish Measuring Board first, lay the fish on its side with the snout against the lip, read the length quickly and return the fish to water at once. Wet hands also help protect its slime layer.
Who supplies the Mini Fish Measuring Board?
The Mini Fish Measuring Board is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets. It can be quoted with nets, traps and aerators.
