The Groundfish Tagging Program provides scientists with information necessary for effective conservation, management, and scientific understanding of the groundfish fishery off Alaska and the Northwest Pacific. The program area includes the Pacific Ocean off Alaska (the Gulf of Alaska, the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area and the Alexander Archipelago of Southeast Alaska), Oregon, and Washington. Distribution, movement rates and direction, growth, recruitment and mortality estimated from tag recoveries are important parameters used in groundfish population assessment models and in developing allocation systems.

Adjustments: There is a correction that adds 200 responses and 17 hours for the non-electronic tags that should have been counted in 2009, that would have made the total 657 (up from 457) non-electric tag returns and 55 hours (up from 38). Also, we are now counting all returns, not attempting to separate out those returned by fishermen. This adds another 223 non-archival tag returns, adding 19 hours. There was also a slight increase to the electronic tag return, of 10 returns, adding 3 hours, for a total of 5 hours.
