Dr. Wessley Mertin with the Dolphinfish Research Program provides a description of this long-term Dolphinfish tagging program. The Dolphinfish Research Program has been tagging fish since 2002. Tagging occurs by volunteers throughout the Atlantic Ocean with most tags deployed in the South Atlantic region and some satellite tags have been deployed. Based on the tagging information, Dolphinfish movements were developed as well as daily traveling distances. Dr. Mertin also describes many challenges facing the Dolphin fishery.
