EXPLORER CLUB,
SAYAT, CHRISTIAN,
AND ME, LEO.
Sayat and Christian are about 12 years old. Sayat has curly black hair and wears a blue sweater and a green lifejacket. Christian has short brown hair and wears glasses, an orange jacket and a blue T-shirt.
Leo continues TOGETHER, WE'RE GETTING WET
AND MUCKY
WORKING WITH EXPERTS AND
HELPING OUR AQUATIC FRIENDS.
EACH DAY WE'RE ON A NEW MISSION
EXPLORING WHAT'S GOING ON
ALONG THE SHORELINES
AND UNDER THE WAVES.
SPLISH, SPLASH, GRAB YOUR BOOTS
AND YOU CAN BE A FISHHEAD TOO.
Fast clips in split screens show Sayat and Christian sailing, exploring river eco-systems and learning about their creatures.
(water burbles)
The title of the show reads "FishHeads, Explorer Club."
Leo swims near two tablets at the bottom of a lake.
(water burbles)
Leo sings NIGHT TIME
IS THE RIGHT TIME
FOR LAKE TROUT TAGGING
OH YEAH...
She says LAKE TROUT ARE THE TOP OF
OUR FISHFINDER LIST TODAY.
LAKE TROUT ARE DARK GREY
TO OLIVE GREEN IN COLOUR
WITH LIGHT SPOTS
ON THEIR SIDE.
THEY HAVE AN AVERAGE WEIGHT
OF 3 KILOGRAMS,
BUT CAN BE AS HEAVY
AS 27 KILOGRAMS,
WHICH IS ALMOST
THE SAME WEIGHT AT SAYAT.
WOW.
THE LAKE TROUT
IS AN APEX PREDATOR.
WHICH MEANS THEY ARE ONE
OF THE BIGGEST FISH IN THE LAKE
AND WILL EAT PRETTY MUCH ANY
FISH THAT CROSSES ITS PATH.
THEY ARE KEY TO KEEPING
EVERYTHING
IN BALANCE IN THE LAKE.
An aerial view of a lake appears.
She continues SO EVERYONE GOT WORRIED
WHEN THEY STARTED TO SEE
A BIG DROP IN THEIR POPULATION.
WHICH WAS DUE MOSTLY DUE
TO OVER-FISHING.
TONIGHT THE FISHHEADS W
ILL BE HELPING THE TEAM
FROM HARKNESS LABS.
An animated map homes in on Ontario. A caption reads "Algonquin Park."
Courtney helps Christian and Sayat get ready in a deck at night.
Courtney says YOU BETTER GET SUITED UP.
Christian says THANK YOU.
Courtney says YOU'RE WELCOME.
The kids put on special jackets.
Sayat says THANKS.
They bump their chests playfully.
Sayat says AGH!
(laughing)
Leo says CHRISTIAN WILL WORK WITH
COURTNEY TO DO THE NETTING.
SAYAT WILL HELP WITH NICK
TO COLLECT THE DATA,
AND DO SOME TAGGING,
TO SEE HOW THE POPULATION
IS DOING.
IT'S AT NIGHT THAT
THE LAKE TROUT COME
AND HANG OUT TO LAY
THEIR EGGS.
SO IT'S THE PERFECT TIME
TO DO A LITTLE TAGGING.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
THE LAKERS ARE SECURE
AS AN APEX PREDATOR.
OH YES, EVEN US TOUGH GUYS,
CAN USE A LITTLE HELP NOW
AND THEN.
MHMM.
The caption changes to "Courtney Taylor. Harness Labs Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry." Courtney is in her mid-thirties, with a long blond braid. She wears a red and gray jacket.
In a boat, Courtney says SO WE'VE GOT OUR
GPS UNIT ON.
WE'VE GOT OUR LIGHT,
Christian says MHMM.
Courtney says RESPOND UNIT,
AND OUR RADIO IS ALSO ON.
Christian says AWESOME.
Courtney says WE'VE GOT OUR DEPTH SOUNDER.
TURN THAT ON
AND WE'LL BE GOOD TO GO.
(whistle blows)
Leo says SAFETY CHECK!
OKAY, FISHHEADS,
REMEMBER TO STAY SEATED IN
THE BOAT WHILE IT'S TRAVELING
AND WHEN YOU HAVE TO MOVE
AROUND DO IT SAFELY AND SLOWLY.
KEEP YOUR KNEES BENT
AND YOUR WEIGHT LOW
IN YOUR BODY
SO YOU CAN EASILY ROLL
WITH THE WAVES.
WELL... IT WORKS PERFECTLY
IF YOU HAVE KNEES.
Christian says BYE! HAPPY TAGGING.
Courtney says WE'RE IN A GOOD SPOT.
LET'S SET THE NET HERE.
Christian says COURTNEY WHY DO WE TAG
AT NIGHT?
Courtney says RIGHT AFTER DARK
IT'S THE LAKE TROUTS
FAVOURITE TIME TO SPAWN,
WHICH MEANS TO LAY EGGS OR
TO MAKE BABY LAKE TROUT.
Christian says AND WHY DO THEY COME
TO SHALLOW WATER?
Courtney says IN THE SHALLOW AREAS
THERE IS MORE OF THE RUBBLE
AND COBBLE.
IT'S THE ROCK SIZE
THAT THEY LIKE.
AND IT LETS THE EGGS FALL
BETWEEN THE ROCKS
AND BE PROTECTED.
UNLIKE A SMALL MOUTH BASS,
OR OTHER TYPES OF FISH,
WERE THEY GUARD THEIR NEST,
LAKE TROUT DON'T.
THEY ARE ON THEIR OWN.
Christian says WOW.
THEY MUST BE REALLY TOUGH
TO SURVIVE ALL BY THEMSELVES.
Courtney says YOU HAVE TO BE TOUGH
TO BE A APEX PREDATOR
LIKE A LAKE TROUT.
Christian says CAN WE SET SOME NETS?
Courtney says WE CAN GET STARTED
RIGHT NOW.
OKAY. ANCHOR.
Christian says AWAY!
(splash)
SO COURTNEY,
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CHECK
ON THE LAKE TROUT.
Courtney says IF THE APEX PREDATOR
IS DOING WELL,
IT'S A GOOD SIGN THE LAKE
IS HEALTHY.
THERE IS ENOUGH SMALLER FISH
FOR THE BIG GUYS TO EAT.
ENOUGH ZOOPLANKTON
FOR THE SMALL FISH TO EAT.
Christian says WHY DO WE USE NETS?
WHY NOT USE FISHING POLES?
Courtney says WE CAN CATCH MORE FISH
IN A SHORTER AMOUNT OF TIME
USING OUR NETS
THAN WITH A POLE.
Christian says AND WHAT ATTRACTS
THE FISH TO THE NETS?
Courtney says THE FISH ARE ATTRACTED
TO THE ROCKS THAT ARE HERE.
IT'S THE NICE SIZE
THAT THEY LIKE,
WHERE THE EGGS CAN FALL BETWEEN
SO WE JUST SET THE NETS THERE
KNOWING THAT THEY'LL SHOW UP.
Christian says AWESOME.
SO CAN WE GO CHECK THE NETS?
Courtney says YEAH, I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME?
Christian says HAVE YOU SEEN ANY FISH?
Courtney says NO NOTHING YET.
OH THERE IS SOMETHING.
Christian says WHOA!
Courtney says I THINK THAT'S A LAKE TROUT.
Christian says WHOA, THAT THING IS HUGE!
Courtney says SO DO YOU WANNA SCOOP
YOUR NET UNDER IT?
Christian says OKAY.
Courtney says GOOD JOB
Christian says OH!
THEY ARE HEAVY.
Courtney chuckles and says YEAH.
ALRIGHT IF YOU PULL IT
OVER HERE.
YEAH.
GREAT. THE NET CAME RIGHT OFF.
DO YOU WANNA WALK IT BACK
TO THE PLAYPEN?
Christian says PLAYPEN? LIKE THE ONE I HAVE
FOR MY LITTLE BROTHER?
Courtney says IT'S KIND OF LIKE THAT.
YEAH, IT'S SOMEWHERE THAT
WE CAN KEEP THE LAKE TROUT
IN THEIR COLD WATER ENVIRONMENT
UNTIL WE CAN MOVE THEM
TO THE TAGGING BOAT.
Christian says IT'S AMAZING HOW SQUIRMY
THEY ARE.
Courtney says YEAH. THEY ARE.
ALRIGHT. WELL, THAT LOOKS
LIKE THE END OF THE NET.
Christian says WOW.
Courtney says SO WE GOT FIVE LAKE TROUT.
Christian says AWESOME.
Courtney says LET'S GO SEE NICK AND SAYAT
IN THE TAGGING BOAT.
Christian says SO IT'S TAGGING TIME?
Courtney says IT SURE IS.
Christian says WOW, I CAN'T WAIT.
Courtney says THERE IT IS. GOOD JOB.
Christian says AWESOME.
They high-five and say HIGH-FIN!
The caption changes to "Nick Lacombe. Harness Labs Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry." Nick is in his mid-thirties, clean-shaven with short hair. He wears a red and gray jacket and a woollen hat.
Nick says HEY SAYAT,
HERE IS SOME SAFETY GLOVES
AND SOME SAFETY GLASSES.
WE NEED TO WEAR THEM WHEN
WE MIXING OUR SEDATION TUB
WITH MS-222,
BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANNA GET IT
IN YOUR EYES OR ON YOUR SKIN.
Sayat says A SEDATION TUB -
IS THAT LIKE A HOT TUB?
Nick says NO ACTUALLY THE WATER IN THIS
TUB IS GONNA BE REALLY COLD.
IT'S GONNA BE LAKE WATER
THAT WE'RE SCOOPING.
THE LAKE TROUT ARE COLD WATER
SPECIES
SO THEY LIKE THE NICE COLD
WATER.
Sayat says JUST LIKE LEO SAYS,
BETTER SAFE THAN SILLY.
Now, Christian appears next to a green board.
Christian says DID YOU KNOW...
THAT MS-222
IS A PAIN KILLER TO HELP
ANIMALS NOT FEEL PAIN.
OR IN OTHER WORDS,
MS-222 MAKES THE FISH
REALLY, REALLY, REALLY,
REALLY, REALLY SLEEPY.
JUST LIKE IF YOU WERE GETTING
YOUR TONSILS REMOVED.
THE DOCTORS WOULD
MAKE YOU SLEEPY
SO THEN YOU COULDN'T FEEL IT.
MS-222 KEEPS THE FISH CALM
WHILE RESEARCHERS WORK ON THEM
AND THEN THEY CAN SWIM AWAY
HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
NOW YOU KNOW.
Courtney says HI NICK AND SAYAT.
WE HAVE 5 LAKE TROUT FOR YOU.
THERE YOU GO.
Nick says THANKS.
Courtney says SEE YOU, GUYS.
Christian says SEE YA, BYE.
Leo says TAG SAYAT, YOU'RE IT!
GET IT? TAG.
TAGGING?
TAGGING LAKE TROUT?
OKAY.
CHRISTIAN AND COURTNEY
ARE GOING BACK OUT
TO CHECK THE OTHER NETS.
In another boat, Nick says ALRIGHT SAYAT, LET'S SCOOP
THIS LAKE TROUT
AND PUT HIM IN THE TUB.
PERFECT. GREAT JOB.
Sayat says SO HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE
FOR THEM FALL ASLEEP
AND IT'S SAFE FOR US
TO WORK THEM?
Nick says PROBABLY BE 2-3MIN.
Sayat says OKAY.
The caption changes to "Fish Talk with Leo."
Leo appears wearing a hat and a handkerchief around her neck.
She says ONCE AND FOR ALL
FOR THE RECORD,
WHAT IS YOUR REAL NAME?
MACKINAW? LAKE CHAR?
TOULADI? TOGUE TROUT?
GREY TROUT?
SISCOWET? PAPERBELLY? HMM?
WHY SO MANY NAMES?
YOU BETTER TELL ME WHAT YOU
ARE HIDING MR. LAKE TROUT
OR ELSE I'LL...
(chuckles)
ON SECOND THOUGHT,
I JUST LOVE ALL THE COOL NAMES
YOU HAVE FOR YOURSELF.
YOU CAN SWIM AWAY NOW.
HAVE A NICE DAY. BYE, BYE.
Sayat lifts a trout and says WHOA, HE'S SO HEAVY.
Nick says YEAH, LAKE TROUT
CAN GET PRETTY BIG.
SO FIRST WE'RE GONNA LOOK
AND SEE
IF THERE IS ANY PARASITES
ON HIM.
Sayat says WHAT ARE PARASITES?
Nick says SO SMALL LITTLE COPEPOD
THAT IS ON THE EXTERIOR
OF THE FISH.
AND IT FEEDS ON THE FISHES
SLIME.
I DON'T SEE ANY PARASITES
ON THIS ONE.
SO THEN WHAT WE ARE GONNA DO
IS WE'RE GONNA MEASURE HIM.
SO WE DO HAVE FORK LENGTH WHICH
IS TO THE FORK OF THE TAIL.
AND THAT'S 500...
AND 47 MILLIMETRES.
SO NOW I'M GONNA PUT T-TAG
IN HIS DORSAL FIN RIGHT HERE.
Sayat says WHAT IS A T-TAG?
Nick says SO THIS IS A T-TAG HERE,
IT HAS A UNIQUE NUMBER ON IT
AND IT'S A WAY
FOR ANGLERS TO KNOW
THAT THIS FISH HAS BEEN TAGGED
AND THEN THEY CAN REPORT IT
TO US.
Sayat says WOW.
Nick says SO LET'S SEE IF THIS IS
A MOM OR DAD FISH.
SO WE JUST SAW SOME EGGS THERE
SO WE CAN TELL THAT THIS IS
A MOM FISH.
THERE IS ONE OF THE EGGS THERE.
Sayat says COOL.
Nick says HM. PRETTY INTERESTING.
NOW WERE GONNA DO THE PIT-TAG.
WE'RE JUST GONNA GO RIGHT
IN BELLY.
Sayat says WHY WE NEED TO PUT ONE
ON THE OUTSIDE
WHEN THE IS ALREADY A TINY
ONE IN THE INSIDE?
Nick says THE OUTSIDE IS A GOOD WAY
FOR ANGLERS,
TO BE ABLE TO TELL THAT
WE'VE HANDLED THE FISH.
WHEREAS THIS INTERNAL ONE,
THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE
IT, RIGHT?
The caption changes to "Angler equal fishermen. Pit tag equals an internal tag for scientists to track the fish."
Nick continues THE ONLY WAY WE KNOW
THAT IT'S THERE
IS BY USING THIS WAND.
(beeping) I CAN SCAN IT.
AND IT GIVES US A CODE.
Sayat says WOW.
THAT'S SO COOL.
Nick says YEAH, PRETTY COOL, EH?
ALRIGHT, LET'S GET HIM INTO
THE REVIVAL TANK.
Sayat says I THINK SHE'S READY.
Courtney says HI SAYAT. SO YOU AND NICK
ARE DONE TAGGING?
Sayat says YEAH.
Courtney says HOW DID IT GO?
Sayat says IT WAS REALLY GOOD.
Courtney says GOOD.
SO I THINK THEY'RE PROBABLY
READY TO RELEASE, EH?
Sayat says YEAH.
I THINK HE'S READY TO GO.
Christian says THERE HE GOES.
GOT HIM!
Sayat says GREAT JOB.
The kids do their handshake and say FISHHEADS!
Leo says IT'S GOOD TO SEE THE LAKE
TROUT ARE DOING FINE THIS YEAR.
CHECKING IN ON THEM EACH YEAR
REALLY HELPS US UNDERSTAND
IF THEY ARE DOING WELL OR NOT.
(foghorn sounds)
ATTENTION FELLOW FISHHEADS!
THE BEST WAY FOR US ALL
TO HELP THE LAKE TROUT
IS PUT THE BIG ONES
BACK IN THE WATER.
I KNOW, YOU MAY BE TEMPTED
TO TAKE HIM HOME FOR SUPPER,
BUT CATCH AND RELEASE
IS AN EASY WAY TO HELP
OUR LAKE TROUT PALS.
THE BIGGER THE LAKE TROUT
MEANS THEY ARE STRONG
AND HEALTHY.
AND WE WANT THEM
TO STICK AROUND
SO THEY WILL PASS THOSE
QUALITIES ALONG TO THEIR YOUNG.
SO THE NEXT GENERATION
OF LAKERS
WILL BE STRONG AND HEALTHY TOO.
SO SUPPORT THE BIG GUYS,
PUT 'EM BACK IN THE WATER.
SO ON BEHALF OF THE BIG GUYS
EVERYWHERE,
WE THANK YOU.
