ok, I got an email about the research just after posting. Here was the response:
"Good morning!
Thank you for your email. I will pass it along to our scientists. I’m also passing it along to our Fisheries Extension Biologist, Allen Pattillo. Allen is out of the office on vacation at the moment, so he won’t respond immediately, however he can be reached at pattillo@iastate.edu or 515-294-8616 when he returns.
Have a great day!

A bit more hopeful response here. I will try and contact Allen Pattillo as well. I would suggest another other Iowegians with interest in this topic might contact him as well..
