Billfish Tagging Report

OMB 0648-0009

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Southwest Fisheries Science Center operates an angler-based billfish tagging program. Tagging supplies are provided to volunteers. When they catch and tag fish, they submit a brief report on the fish tagged and the location of tagging. The information obtained is used in conjunction with tag returns to determine billfish migration patterns, mortality rates, and similar information useful in the management of the billfish fisheries. There is a link to the Privacy Act Statement on the Bllfish Tagging Web page, at https://swfsc.noaa.gov/textblock.aspx?Division=FRD&ParentMenuId=141&id=1197
