Book Synopsis Materials and Methods for Tagging Tuna and Billfishes, Recovering the Tags and Handling the Recapture Data by : William H. Bayliff
Book excerpt: 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.
