compromised (Aalbers et al., 2004), only mouth-hooked 
individuals in good physical condition (e.g., no hook 
damage) were selected for tagging. Fish were captured 
at depths of 3-33 m. Most individuals were positively 
buoyant upon capture as a result of gas bladder expan- 
sion; however, artificial deflation of the gas bladder was 
unnecessary, and all tagged fish were able to return to 
depth after release. 
Contact and reward information was printed upon 
both the stalk and body of the DSTs as well as on ex- 
ternally affixed conventional tags. Information on re- 
capture vessel, geographic location, fish size, sex, and 
general fish condition was documented upon communi- 
cation with fishermen that reported tag recoveries. A 
$200 reward, tagging project T-shirt, and a summary of 
statistics for the recaptured individual were sent out to 
fishermen upon recovery of a DST. 
DSTs were programmed by using 3 sampling re-
