APPENDIX 



Release and recapture data for returns from sailfish tagged in the western North Atlantic Ocean, March 1950-May, 1972, are given in nine 

 Appendix Tables. The returns are grouped by area of release, except that the large group from releases of southeastern Florida is further 

 divided according to recapture areas. In each group, the returns are listed in order of date of recapture. Lengths and weights which were 

 reported in inches and pounds have been converted to centimeters and kilograms. Data in parentheses are extimated or approximate.
