CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME 



15 



sack thrown over the snout of the fish, and the fish placed on its belly- 

 on a flat surface. Then with a small awl (1/16 inch in diameter) , a hole 

 is punched through the back of the fish at right angles to the length 

 of the fish one-quarter inch below the ridge of the back. The pin, 

 with the white disc against its head, lettering exposed, is put through 

 the awl hole ; the red disc is put on the pin ; and the pin is then curled 

 over with a small pair of pointed-nosed pliers. The length of the fish 

 from snout to end of tail is measured and recorded, and the fish is 

 returned alive to the water. The whole operation of tagging takes 

 about one minute and in no case has it seemed to weaken the fish to 

 any extent. 



The following Table I is a record of the fish tagged, numbers of 

 tags, date and locality of tagging.
