Declarations
:
: Our research adheres to the ASAB/ABS Guidelines for the Use of Animals in Research. Tagging of American Eel followed the procedure outlined in Béguer-Pon et al. [] as well as standard operating procedures for the Great Lakes Laboratory for Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences-Water Science Technology Directorate (GLLFAS-WSTD) Animal Care Committee related to fish tagging (GWACC-130) and anesthesia (GWACC-105). At the start of the study the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry used standard animal care procedures through their monitoring programs and did not require internal Animal Care approvals; however, starting in 2018, tagging was completed under the GLLFAS-WSTD Animal Care Permit #1850.
