Another recapture

Broadbill · 10-29-2007, 07:57 AM

I saw Capt. Kens post and it reminded me, we had a recptrue as well. We tagged a 51" (est.) fish off of Ft. Pierce and it was recaptured 207 days later off of Ft. Lauderdale at 59" by the Reaper. I can't tell by the data but I think it might have been re-tagged???? Anyway, pretty cool. It seems to me from the recaptures we have seen and the sat. tags that these fish don't move as far as we might have once thought.

Residential fish

I am starting to wonder about this as well. I had a tagged fish recaught in Ft. Lauderdale about 11 months later.

Makes you think, huh?

Good Job !
Keep up the good work !

Hs anyone heard of the Squid Lady @ the UM ? I bet if someone knows her and could perhaps get her to come on here she could give us tons of info on sqiud migration out front. I heard that she knows her stuff.

Great work!

As for how far the fish move, it is really hard to say and cannot be concluded from conventional tags. In those 207 days, the fish could have travelled well out of the Florida Straits, only to return and be recaptured. Unfortunately, at present, swordfish swim too deep to register the light sensor on the satellite tags to gather continuous lat lon data. You also only get where the fish was tagged and where the tag popped off. You only hope the tag pops off or the fish is recaptured when it is in an area far from the tag site.

One of the limitations of conventional tags, is you are limited by the fishery (where people fish). Therefore, often times the majority of recaptures will happen in the same general vicinity of where they were released because that is generally where the fishing pressure is the heaviest. One of the unique things about satellite tags is they shed light on where the fish move without relying on fisherman interaction.

thats great to hear

I wonder if there is a list of conventional tags registered somewhere. It would be nice to see where the tag originated and were the fish was caught.

What is the right procedure if you catch a fish with a conventional or satellite tag?
