Back in October, we visited the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, where annually returning schools of striped bass provide the team of scientists with a unique opportunity to study the daily and seasonal movements of our favorite fish. In this video, we join Dr. Steve Zottoli, Dr. Scott Bennett, and Dr. Brian Prendergast as they attach satellite tags to stripers just before the fall migration to learn more about how and where the fish migrate after they leave Massachusetts.
