TITLE: Northern Gulf of St. Lawrence Cod Tagging

DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT:
The 3Pn, 4RS (Northern Gulf of St. Lawrence) Cod Tagging Program has been developed to become a sub-component of the 3Pn, 4RS cod stock assessment. The specific purpose of the tagging program is to mark with an external tag and release Atlantic cod for future recapture and reporting. The data with respect to both the placement and recapture of the fish including date, position (latitude / longitude), fork length and weight and gear type are analyzed to gather pertinent scientific information related to the stock including migration patterns, growth rates, and condition factors. In addition, these data can also provide information on exploitation rates specific to fishing mortality providing assumptions specific to tag loss, tag mortality and tag recapture reporting rate are met.
