Hi everyone... just got this back from Annette and thought you might find it interesting. (If you catch a tagged fish, let me know the Tag Number, length, weight, date, and location you caught it.)
Aloha, Stan

Fascinating. makes me wanna hook some more just to find out more. The Hilo mullet program does the same thing for the mullet fishers. Bruce Kaya guys did a great job in feeding the info back to them. This made them participate more and kept the program going. Bruce K. was instrumental in all of this and thanks to him and his working closely w/ the fishers, they now have a good program going. But every year they fight to stay alive and keep their funding.

Very interesting Stan!

I guess they grow slowly just like bass in northern waters.

Interesting comparing fish 2 with fish 3...the one that actually travelled more grew more. Maybe that fish was just more aggressively feeding in its nature?

I was wondering...are they very territorial? These fish don't seem to be moving around too much at all.

Fish 4 has already been tamed...0 miles travelled and recaptured 12 days after tagging

Can I help with tagging next time?

Do o'io need to be tagged?
