<i>Abstract</i>.—Large-scale fish tagging programs are becoming more popular as fishery managers realize the importance of including spatial structure in assessment and management models. Two recent EU-funded projects on plaice and cod have shown how information from electronic tags can be used to gain new insights and add value to historic tagging data. Highlights have been the demonstration of unexpected population sub-structuring in plaice, and the realization that cod behavior is very variable in response to regional environments. Success does not come without planning and management of staff, of data, and of expectations. We share our experiences from the last 10 years of electronic tagging to provide an up-to-date analysis of what makes a good tagging program, and how to get the most from it.



<i>Abstract</i>.—Tagging studies have been a fundamental tool in fisheries science for over 100 years. During this time tags have progressed from simple markers through to sophisticated miniature computers capable of storing large amounts of data. Making sense of large amounts of spatial and temporal tagging data lends itself well to graphical interpretation. The Electronic Tag Support Systems (ETSS) team at CSIRO has developed a comprehensive visualization system to suit researcher and stakeholder (funding agencies, fishers, public) needs. Researchers are able to access and visualize the data through a proprietary (MapInfo) GIS package; stakeholders can visualize the data without the need for prior GIS knowledge through a menu-driven graphical web portal.

Biofouling of external tags can damage both the animal and the tag. It is an inherent problem to many fish-tagging studies; however, it has received little attention. Between 2005 and 2007, we investigated the taxonomic group and wet weight of sessile multicellular eukaryonts growing on 33 B-type dart tags recaptured from raggedtooth sharks (Carcharias taurus Rafinesque, 1810) along the eastern coast of South Africa. All tags, except one from a shark that had been at liberty only for 13 days, contained some degree of macro-fouling that ranged from 0.031 to 7.687 g wet weight. Barnacles and hydroids were the first colonisers and were recorded on tags after only 47 days. Bivalves, polychaetes and algae succeeded within 60 days. The last two taxa to be recorded were ascidians and sponges. There was no significant relationship between either the biomass of sessile organisms (P = 0.17) or the number of taxa (P = 0.59) found growing on tags and their time at liberty. Calcium carbonate plugs, ranging in weight from 0.16 to 9.18 g, were found at the site of the tag insertion wound on 27.3% of recaptures. The present study highlights the extent of biofouling growth on tags and its potential to bias results from tagging studies.

Standard release-recapture models can provide release-specific estimates of survival probabilities for a group of salmonid smolt released at a particular time and place in the river. However, reliable estimates of season-wide survival for the population of outmigrating smolt are needed in the Snake-Columbia River Basin for careful management of the resource. Alternative estimators are presented to estimate season-wide survival of spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) smolt. Using daily fish tagging, survival for the middle 95% of the migration was estimated to be SS = 0.873 (SE = 0.005) from the tailrace of Lower Granite Dam (RK 695) to the tailrace of Little Goose Dam (RK 635) in 1995. Daily survival estimates were remarkably stable across the migration season with some evidence of decreased survival towards the very end of the migration. Sample size calculations suggest good precision can be attained (i.e., projected SE = 0.01) with tag releases as small as n = 500 fish per day (d = 7) across the outmigration. Less than daily sampling can result in season-wide survival estimates that are too imprecise for many management purposes.

This research was experimental fishing methods and regression analysis to examine the effect and relationship between biophysical parameters namely sea surface temperature and chlorophyll-a and the results of small pelagic fish conversations in Ternate Island, the results of the study showed that the biosphysical parameters including sea surface temperature (SPL) and chlorophyll-a have a significant influence on the distribution of small pelagic fish, with the correlation coefficient values of each sea surface temperature parameter and chlorophyll-a with the results of the pelagic fish tagging are 0.6121 and 0.7042
