Steel Tag Is
Aid In Study
Of Fish Runs
The tagging of Alaska herring,
begun experimentally in 1932 by
the United States bureau of fisher
ies and continued in 1933, was ex
panded during the past season. The
herring are tagged with metal belly
tags during the spring spawning sea
son, the tags being retaken during
the June-Ortober fishing season by
means of electromagnets installed
in the reduction plants, according to
a recently released bureau of fisher
ies bulletin.
Leaving Seattle March 10, 1934,
aboard the fisheries vessel Heron,
Dr G. A. Rounsefell and E. H. Dahl
gren, assisted by Mr. Christey, pro
ceeded to Craig on the west coast of
Prince of Wales island, where 8400
tags were affixed, then moved to
Sitka, tagging 13,000 more. The
tagging work in Alaska at this time
of the year is decidedly unpleasant.
Snow and hail, witli temperatures
low enough to freeze a skim of ice
on salt water, make the necessary
hand work under water a decided
hardship.
A tag, modified from those used
in the experiments of previous years
was used on about 18,000 of those
tagged, the change consisting of
having the tag stamped out of nickel
plated sheet steel, and in increasing
the size to about double that of the
previous tag. The larger size makes
the operation of tagging easier and
faster, and the tags are much more
easily seen on the magnets.
Coorrosion Prevented
Corrosion, which might be expect
ed to occur on the ferrous metal,
does not take place in the body cav
ity of the fish, and the recovered
tags show their original luster. Fur
ther, the cost of the material is only
a fraction of that of nickle, a decid
ed advantage during these days ol
economy.
A total of G41 steel tags and 46
nickle tags were recovered.Of these,
153, or 2.1 per cent of the steel tags
affixed at Craig were recovered,
largely from the Warren and Noyes
island areas (although a small per
centage were reported as having mi
grated to the vicinity of Cape Oma
ney). Six-tenths of ! p r cent of
the pure nickel tags were recovered
from these same areas.
Of the Sitka steel tags, 4f!S, or 4.4
per cent; and 40, or 1.8 per cent of
the pure nickel tags affixed at Sitka
were returned, being taken, as were
those of the 1933 experiment, in the
vicinity of Cape Omaney. (A small
fraction of these, too, were reported
taken in the Warren-Noyes area.)
Two 1933 tags were taken, giving
the longest time out for any tag
The steel tags show a decided su
periority in returns over the nickel
ones used, owing, no doubt, to their
greater magnetic attraction.
Migration Confused
Test tugs, placed in fish just be
fore being unloaded from the ves
sels provided a means of estimating
the interval between the tune the
tags were taken and the time the
recovered tags were reportd. It was
found that there was, in many cases,
considerable lag between the time
the tag was placed in the elevator
and its reported recovery.
This, of course, confuses the inter
pretation of the migration data. A
system of recovering the tagged fish
itself has been worked out and will
be in operation during the coming
season. The tag will be indicated
by the disturbance caused in a bal
anced electrical field by the pres
ence of the metal, the impulse being
amplified to permit automatic indi
cation of the tagged specimen. Such
a devise will make possible accur
ate delineation of migration routes
not now feasible.
