AMBO student Joe Gattozzi will be working with Maine Department of Marine Resources biologist Claire Enterline on a rainbow smelt tag retention study. AMBO students will be trawling for smelt in Portland Harbor and transferring them to recirculating tanks in the aquaculture lab. The fish will be tagged with several types of tags and tag retention and mortality will be monitored for six months. In addition, Joe will be looking at the distribution of mitochondrial haplotypes in Casco Bay smelt.
