The Snook Research Tournament is now in its 12th year. This special catch, sample and release tournament is used to help document contributions to the fishery of snook that were raised by the Center for Aquaculture Research and Development at Mote Marine Laboratory, tagged and released into Sarasota Bay by Mote’s Center for Fisheries Enhancement. Snook caught during the tournament are checked by Mote researchers, who recover tag data and use the information to adjust release protocols. The Center for Fisheries Enhancement uses the Snook Shindig for outreach to help the community learn more about Mote fisheries research and fish conservation, and to gather additional evidence about hatchery snook contribution rates in the fishery and about snook population size and movements in Sarasota Bay. Door prizes, raffles, give-a-ways and tournament awards will presented at the Snook Shindig Awards Banquet, sponsored by Bonefish Grill.
