GLATOS Data

[John Jarosz]

Awesome presentation, Scott, and an even more awesome job of data crunching. Thanks much! I'll bet there aren't many agencies that have the analysis that you did.

On the question of surgery & mortality of the big girls, VEMCO has available an external transmitter. Chris looked at using them during our proposal writing. We decided against it because of the high percentage of their falling off during the spawning ritual. With the high chance of mortality of the 50+ inchers, we might want to get a couple of them so when the DEC does electro-fish a big girl, they can attach the external. If it falls off during spawning, we're out $300 or so, but the musky lives & we'll have the data. If they don't capture a big one, they'll just keep the transmitter until they do. It doesn't have to be used

Scott does a superlative job in both crunching the data and in the presentation. Anyone interested in Niagara River/Buffalo Harbor muskies should never miss his presentations.
