Billfish Tagging Program,Tag Releases
Listed in NOAA Oceanview
The SWFSC's constituent-based Billfish Tagging Program began in 1963 and has provided over 80,000 conventional (analog) mark-recapture tags and tagging supplies to billfish anglers fishing in the Pacific Ocean.
Description
Tag releases are recorded by anglers or captains on Tagging Report cards mailed to the SWFSC. Over 62,000 tags have been reported released on nine different billfish species in the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, and other locales.
Active tag distribution ended in March 2021, effectively ending the tagging program, but the SWFSC is still logging tag releases and recaptures for existing tags still in circulation. The 62,252 records presented here represent all the information reported on the Tagging Report Cards received at the SWFSC as of February 2021. Also see repository.library.noaa.gov/view/noaa/28449
