Tagging Fishes

IT s. BUREAU OF FISHERIES
" has tagged 10000 fish. mostly
cod, but some pollock and haddock,
in an effort TO find out all about
their habits and homes. These
studies are conducted for the pur-
pose OF conserving tho fish supply.
Tho fish that were tagged were
all caught with hook and line. Each
was then laid on wet board and
handled by rien wearing wet gloves.
These precautions were necessary
because n dry surface would re.
move tho glutinous veil that pro-
tects the scales OF fishes. Removal
OF this veil exposes them TO the
attacks of many forms OF para
