FISH TAGGING EXCURSION
Three members of the Marine Bar
racks were afforded the opportunity
to accompany the University of Wash
ington Research vessel, the Command
er, on one of her frequent trips
from the Port of Adak to fishing
grounds in the vicinity of Adak,
Lasting from 0430 to 2030 last Wed
nesday, it.was a little while before
the "sea-legs" were acquired aid then
all hands were shipshape. A total of
3 net-layings were made using the
purse-seine method. Two of the 3
were productive and numerous amounts
of fish were caught, tagged and then
released. After fish are caught, a
bait tank is used until the fish are
measured, one scale removed to de
termine age of the fish and then a
tag inserted by the main dorsal fin.
This tagging is essential in the re
search being accomplished by tie Uni
versity of Washington relative to
determining the feeding grounds of
fish, growth habits, spawning loca
tion and place where caught*
as a result of this research, sta
tistics may be compiled to determine
the better fishing grounds, predic
tions on future year’s runs and
growth particulars cf the fish caught
for the research.
