Here is a Yellowfish conservancy that has done a lot of research and instituted a program of tagging Yellow's, could help with your ideas on Tigers: http://ncywg.co.za/about/about.htm

Someone else who is as passionate about the Tigerfish

Ichthyology research is centered at Rhodes university and here is a link to their site: http://www.ru.ac.za/ichthyology/research/ichthyologyresearch/

I know there was a specific study done recently on the Kruger Park river Tigers to see if they were being affected by the same ailments that began decimating the Crocodiles of the park.

If there is not current research program on tigerfish that they can refer you to then you would have to set up your own program and then you would have to fund the research and tagging and compile your necessary reports for publication.

Good luck in your endeavours.
