Fish & Wildlife Information Exchange

Tagging WebsiteSeveral agencies asked the Fish and Wildlife Information Exchange to help develop a web-based voluntary repository for fish tagging information. The purpose is to better coordinate fish tagging and improve data collection efforts. Fish tagging programs are a vital part of a fishery manager's tools for assessing fish populations. Conducted properly, tagging can yield a wealth of information including fish movements, migration patterns, and statistics such as birth rates, mortality rates, and harvest levels. This information can be vital to appropriate management leading to healthier fish stocks. We provide continual updates and changes due to advancing technology and data sharing opportunities.
