WITH the game fishing season along the East Coast in full swing, NSW DPI is reminding anglers to return completed tag cards to their local game fishing club or back to the program directly. Completed tag cards can also be emailed to gamefish.tagging@dpi.nsw.gov.au.
The NSW DPI Game Fish Tagging Program says its still yet to release information for many species from past seasons. Please have a look around and send back your completed cards, even if they are several years old, as they may still match up with a recaptured fish that is in the program’s database.
The data and information on every individual tag card plays an important role in understanding the movement and distribution of game fish and pelagic species.
Also, if you are lucky enough to catch a tagged fish, be sure to report it online by using the NSW DPI Game FIsh Tagging Program recapture form here.
