Here will be one photo of a fish or research each day. I'll try to add a story about what/where/when. Feel free to ask or post your own stories. Resizing will be a pain in the ass...
1) 10-13 pound Bluefish from a study many years ago from our main research aquarium. This one was an attempt at getting better recreational fishing mortality data on hook/line bluefish. The study worked out well although I thought we could make some improvements. Although the photo is from another study years later,it shows how we get big fish back to our lab at SH. The fish in the tanks mounted on the deck of our 48ft boat are alive-they are just suffering from the bends.
I'll try to post the link related to what was published. Some of the links to research publications might get tricky to access-I take it all for granted...I'll try to post several links-
