Na die kompetisie sal die junior en senior proewe (wat Sondag klaarmaak) gehou word.
• Al die grootbekbaars wat gevang word, word uitgebring waar dit gemerk word deur André Hoffman, ’n akwatiese wetenskaplike in Mpumalanga. Mnr. Hoffman het gemeld dat die “grootbekbaars merkprogram” hierdie maand begin het en vir sowat twee jaar sal duur.
Alle grootbekbaars wat uitgehaal word, word gemeet, geweeg en gemerk as deel van die grootbekbaars merkprogram.
Die kompetisie gee hulle geleentheid om heelwat grootbekbaars te merk vir hul program om ’n populasiebepaling te doen om die getalle van dié visse te monitor en te beheer. Hy het dan ook ’n spesiale toepassing en databasis vir die program laat skryf.
• Hengelaars wat in die vervolg van die grootbekbaars by Loskop (of van Marulani se kant af) vang, word gevra om slegs die nommers van die merkers aan te meld. Plakkate en blaadjies sal alles breedvoerig vir hulle uiteen sit.
