Survey: Do You Fish for Giant Tuna in New England?
Help scientists develop best practices for catching and releasing giant bluefin tuna.
The Pelagic Fisheries Lab at the University of Maine, Orono and the Gulf of Maine Research Institute is looking to evaluate post-release mortality on commercial sized (73”+) Atlantic bluefin tuna in pursuit of developing best practices for handling and release of these fish.
This 9 question survey is seeking angler input on characterizing the rod and reel catch and release fishery for these commercial sized (73”+) fish off New England.
Survey data will be used to inform the tagging portion of our study in hopes of capturing a representative set of the rod and reel angling community.
