Unfortunately there wasn&#8217;t data available to answer these question so we are going to collect it ourselves &#8211; with your help! We are also working in partnership with the Victorian Fisheries Authority, Deakin University and University of Tasmania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>South West Fish Frame Drop-Off Locations<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank to the generous support of the following businesses, drop off your filleted striped trumpeter to the below local businesses. We can post you out  some heavy duty bags and labels by sending your request to <a href=\"mailto:info@vrfish.com.au\">info@vrfish.com.au<\/a>. Please make sure the bag is clean before heading to the store. The fish frame can be fresh or frozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Portland Bait and Tackle, 111 Bentinck St, Portland<\/li><li>Richardson Marine, 1058 Raglan Parade, Warrnambool<\/li><li>BCF Warrnambool, 1-49 Raglan Parade, Warrnambool<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips on Filleting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To analyse all the the biological information, we need the guts intact for each fish. When you are filleting your fish we recommend you bone fillet your fish which leaves bones\u00a0around the gut cavity. Below is a video showing how you can fillet your trumpeter with this method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"AO5twu8nehpKglD3axmWbXZ2SzfJICGMyvdk7NQB9iLE0q\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MURES FISHING DEMONSTRATE OVER THE BONE FILLETING\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g7LgJTzUP18?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Register For an Offshore Angler Log Book<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We invite anglers that regularly target offshore fish stocks, including striped trumpeter to share their data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Record data from your fishing trips in the GoFishVic app from the Victorian Fisheries Authority available <a href=\"https:\/\/vfa.vic.gov.au\/recreational-fishing\/gofishvic\/gofishvic-app-features-and-benefits\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/vfa.vic.gov.au\/recreational-fishing\/gofishvic\/gofishvic-app-features-and-benefits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>2.
