Award for Tagged Fish

---

Fish are tagged to help fish managers learn about the distribution, movements, relative abundance and growth rates of fish. With this information, fish managers are better able to protect fish from over-exploitation and the adverse effects of development. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans awards anglers who provide information about tagged fish. If you catch a tagged fish, write down the species, location where it was caught, the date it was caught, length, weight, sex (if you can determine it) and the lure used to catch it. Mail this information along with the tag to:
