That's Alex with the HRI Fisheries Lab....they have a scientific permit to do that...they are in the flour bluff canals (again today)...he texted me that he has over 100 snook and 25 tarpon...no trout or redfish...
they will be used for future genetic studies, fin clips, and the otoliths will be cut out and the fish will be aged....
we were both surprised at the amount of snook and tarpon up in those canals...
while there are a lot of cold stunned turtles being picked up, no other fish kills have been reported....thanks again to the barge operators that suspended operations in the ICWW during the cold snap...
