APPENDIX 



Release and recapture data for marlins tagged in the western North Atlantic Ocean are presented in five Appendix Tables. Data for White raarlin re- 

 captured between May, 1970, and July 15, 1972, are grouped in four tables according to release and recapture areas. Corrected data for one white 

 marlin return listed by Mather et_ al_. (1972) are included. The fifth table shows all the blue marlin returns obtained to date. In each table, the 

 returns are listed in order of date of recapture. Although anglers estimated lengths in inches and weights in pounds, we have converted them to 

 metric units. Data in parentheses are estimated or approximate.
