Virginia Game Fish Tagging Program Annual Report, 2011.

摘要

Through 2011, the Virginia Game Fish Tagging Pro-gram has maintained a 17-year database of records for tagged and recaptured fish. The program is a co-operative project of the Virginia Saltwater Fishing Tournament (under the Virginia Marine Resources Commission-VMRC) and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) of the College of William and Mary (under the VIMS Marine Advisory Pro-gram). The primary goal of the program is to train and maintain an experienced group of anglers who are willing to volunteer their time and effort to properly tag and release their fish catch. Data on tagged and recaptured fish are summarized in annual reports.
