Pacific cod tagging. II, Migration and stock delineation / by S.J. Westrheim.Fs97-4/1663E-PDF

"During 1944-70, 34,218 Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) were tagged by Canadian and United States biologists in the waters of British Columbia and Washington State--21,631 by Canada and 12,587 by United States. Tagging localities in Canadian waters were Hecate Strait, off southwest Vancouver Island, Juan de Fuca Strait, and Georgia Strait. Tagging localities in United States waters were Puget Sound, Georgia Strait, Juan de Fuca Strait, and off the west coast of Washington State. Inter-regional migration was minor to negligible in virtually all experiments. Intra-regional migration also appeared to be minor, but clear delineation was inhibited by a number of factors--too few cod tagged; differential migration by size (age) and year-class abundance; and short life span of Pacific cod. A bibliography of Canada-U.S. reports published on this subject is included"--Abstract, page iii.
