IF YOU CATCH A TAGGED FISH

If you catch a fish with a yellow dorsal loop tag, the tag belongs to the American Littoral Society. We need the tag returned along with the recapture information. To make it easy for you to respond, we have provided a tag return form. Complete the form, tape the tag to it and mail it to the address on the form. Download Tag Return Form 

In return, you will receive

  • The history of your fish (where it was tagged, how much it has grown)
  • An American Littoral Society fish tagger"s decal
  • Information about our tagging program
  •  The knowledge that you have made a contribution to marine fisheries science

If you are interested in becoming a tagger contact Jeff at 732-291-0055 or e-mail jeff@littoralsociety.org.

Learn where your fish go and how big they grow.

To participate, you must be an ALS member (dues are $35 per year for an individual or family.) Tags cost $6 for 10 tags, data cards, applicator needle, and instructions. Fishing clubs and charter boat captains are welcome. Membership dues and tags are tax deductible.
