DISPERSAL 
AND MOVEMENTS 
OF THE TAGGED FISH. 
The appended classified table shows the localities in which the tagged 
cod were caught and the months in which they were taken in each 
locality. 
The following points relative to the movements of the tagged 
fish have been developed by the experiments: 
(1) The tagged cod have been found in the coastal waters of the 
middle Atlantic region throughout the year, but in largest numbers in 
April and May, when nearly 50 per cent were taken. 
Comparatively 
few have been captured any year between July and December. 
(2) The range of the tagged cod, as judged by those caught, is from 
Georges Bank to Atlantic City, New Jersey. 
The localities mostly 
frequented were the south shore of Long Island, Narragansett Bay and 
the adjacent shores, and Nantucket Shoals.
