Daily Fish Movements
The maps below are based on a daily time step. That is, all receivers on which a fish was detected turns red on that particular day. More detailed movement maps (e.g., over the course of a single day) are available upon request. Data are updated about one time per month. We plan to tag more snook in spring 2008, so check back frequently for new movement data on this fascinating species.
Those individuals with especially interesting movement patterns are indicated by a checkmark.
