Acknowledgments 



The NMFS tagging project was conducted by David Deuel 

 and his colleagues of NOAA Fisheries, Sandy Hook, New 

 Jersey, Although their results were not published before 

 Dave's death in 1994, his initiative in tagging bluefish 

 made this study possible, for which we are grateful. We 

 would also like to thank the American Littoral Society 

 volunteers for data collected through their tagging pro- 

 gram, Kristy Webber for data entry help, helpful reviews 

 from Steve Cadrin, Mark Terceiro, and Fred Serchuk, 

 and Ken Able for his constant encouragement to publish 

 our tagging results.
