Cooperative Game Fish Tagging Program Annual Newsletter 1990
"The Cooperative Game Fish Tagging Program is a joint research effort by scientists, recreational, and commercial fishermen. It is designed to provide basic information on the movements and biology of game fish populations in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea through the direct participation of the public in scientific research. In 1990, program cooperators and scientists tagged and released 10,955 fish of 47 species in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea. A total of 6,970 billfish were tagged and released: 3,309 sailfish, 1,274 white marlin, 1,993 blue marlin, and 394 swordfish. There were 1,256 tunas tagged and released: 597 yellowfin, 415 bluefin, and 244 miscellaneous tunas. Other species tagged and released by program cooperators were: 581 red drum, 772 tarpon, 456 king mackerel, 320 amberjack, and 201 cobia. In addition, 399 fish of 32 miscellaneous species were tagged and released"--Page 1, paragraphs 1-2
Marking and Tagging of Aquatic Animals
This bibliography is a compilation of selected references on the marking and tagging of aquatic animals, with special reference to information on different kinds of marks or tags that are available, techniques of applications, retention or recovery of marks or tags, and the effects of marks or tags on the organism. The references are arranged alphabetically byy author, consecutively numbered, and indexed by key words that enable easy access to references on particular subjects. The references are about equally divided between methods of marking fish and methods of marking other aquatic animals.
Materials and Methods for Tagging Tuna and Billfishes, Recovering the Tags and Handling the Recapture Data
Conventional tags are applied to tunas and billfishes, using several different methods to handle the fish. The importance of making satisfactory arrangements for collecting the tagged fish which are recaptured, and the pertinent data, is discussed. Some suggestions for handling the data are given. Ultrasonic telemetry has been used extensively on tunas and billfishes during the last few years. Fishing techniques, transmitter attachment, hydrophone systems, and data collection and storage are discussed. Some tagging systems which may be used on tunas and billfishes in the future are described.
