albertatrout Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Hey, figured guys on here may find this interesting. Bow River weir/ Harvie Channel fish tagging study. Betting these guys would appreciate hearing about any tagged fish captured this spring and summer. Details on the government news site this afternoon for those interested. I'm betting a ton of money is going into this one so hopefully they collect some data. http://alberta.ca/NewsFrame.cfm?ReleaseID=/acn/201304/3400424418A31-00B0-6C21-9423B94B96F319A9.html .

RedBeard Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Cool, I'll keep my eyes out. Dorsal tags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertatrout Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Doesn't sound like it. It says external transmitter tag along with numbered tag behind the eye. The external device will be very obvious, the tag not so much (assuming they're using the same eye tags I've encountered in the past). I'm betting floy tags were avoided due to the type of tracking device being used, not sure what their justifications for the combo they chose is but I'd be interesting in seeing why they went that route.

troutfriend Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Anyone interested in this can go see them in action tagging fish and discussing the project tomorrow Friday the 26th at Bonnybrook Treatment plant at 8:30 am with shocking to occur at 9:00ish! All questions can be answered there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
