The location, date and various Information is recorded upon the release of the tagged fish and the same information is recorded when the fish is recaptured by fishermen or other reporters. From this information stock movements, mortality, and growth can be estimated which leads to more accurate biological and stock assessments. The yellowtall flounder fishery is one of the most valuable and productive in New England, however more information is needed for accurate assessments and management plans. The major goals of this tagging program are to estimate yellowtail movement between the three stock areas, namely Cape Cod/Gulf of Maine, Georges Bank, and Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic. Also to estimate mortality rates within the stock areas and observe growth and behavior. completed Alade, Larry 508-495-2085 166 Water Street Woods Hole MA 02543-1026 USA larry.alade@noaa.gov pointOfContact Alade, Larry 508-495-2085 166 Water Street Woods Hole MA 02543-1026 USA larry.alade@noaa.gov custodian asNeeded Cooperative research behavior growth mortality rates recapture release tag tagging program yellowtail flounder theme Cape Cod Georges Bank Gulf of Maine Mid-Atlantic Southern New England place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/NEFSC > Northeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

For recaptures without accurate geographical coordinates but with general knowledge of recapture area, a search algorithm is used to derive the center of recapture location to estimate a lat/long for the recapture location. Release data was recorded from scheduled cooperative research cruises on commercial fishing vessels. Recapture information is received from commercial and recreational fishermen and entered into the MRDBS database using a web application with extensive audits.
