November 15, 2018

This report summarizes release and recovery data within the tag database and describes the results of studies utilizing these tag data by NOAA Fisheries and others on sablefish age, growth, and migration. Hopefully it will prove both interesting and informative for those who have contributed the largest share of the data—individual members of the fishing industry.
