Fish tagging programs are a vital part of a fishery manager’s tools for assessing fish populations. Conducted properly, tagging can yield a wealth of information including fish movements, migration patterns, and statistics such as birth rates, mortality rates, and harvest levels. This information can be vital to appropriate management leading to healthier fish stocks.

Here are some links to websites that provide resources for fishery managers, anglers, scientists, and others interested in tagging.
