| It is a mark-recapture study that will give the New Brunswick fisheries managers data on population estimates and, over time, growth rates. I believe the Saint John River members will be given or are getting bump boards to increase measurement accuracy, and they are actually the ones that are tagging the muskies (Floy tags). You can learn more here: http://www.muskiesnb.ca/research.html. This is a fantastic fishery that is only going to get better with time.
Not sure if Muskies Inc. is financially supporting this undertaking, but if you're a member you can certainly talk to members of the executive council/committee and see if they'd be willing to help.
Troy, you're correct in that Muskies Inc. is helping fund the delayed mortality catch-and-release study you're referring to. The Becker Foundation is as well. |
