Future investigations will test different locations for, 

 and methods of, injecting fluorescent dye and single- 

 anchor long T-bar tags and will help to further identify 

 the best tagging method. When the most successful 

 method is determined, a long-term study will allow us 

 to understand how individual animals grow, move, and 

 change both seasonally and annually.
