SUMMER 2008 - PIER Founder Tom Pfleger surgically implants an archival tag in a white seabass at Catalina Island. To-date both the PIER and Catalina Seabass Fund research teams have tagged over 40 white seabass around Catalina ranging in size from 10 to 45 lbs. These data loggers are set to record depth and temperature every minute and fetch a reward of $200 when recaptured (to report a found tag, click here). This collaborative project is focused on determining the depth distribution and temperature preferences of this important recreational and commercial species.
