Take your Tagging to Another Level -

Build a Fish Tagging Station

Whether you design an integrated tagging station on your vessel or have all of your tagging supplies stored in one location, being prepared to tag with some sort of plan for when the fish come onboard will make tagging more enjoyable and your contribution to our research more valuable. In this month's edition of the Dolphinfish Research Program (DRP) eNewsletter, we compiled a comprehensive guide to improve your field tagging methods by gathering footage and notes from Captain Don Gates and the Killin' Time II fishing team, one of the top tagging teams for the DRP. Captain Gates provides an overview of how and his team utilizes a fish tagging station to handle fish properly, tag more efficiently, and make tagging more enjoyable. With many still under social distancing and stay at home orders, now may be a good time to take on some projects to improve your fishing program on your vessel. A fish processing table will add additional functionality to your vessel, and if you participate in the DRP, take your tagging and contribution to our research to another level.
