Abstract

Through 2023, the Virginia Game Fish Tagging Program (VGFTP) has maintained a 28-year database of records for tagged and recaptured fish. The program is a cooperative project of the Virginia Saltwater Fishing Tournament (VSFT) under the Virginia Marine Resources Commission-(VMRC) and the Virginia InsƟtute of Marine Science (VIMS) of William & Mary (under the VIMS Marine Advisory Program).

The main goal of the program is to train and maintain an experienced group of anglers who volunteer their Ɵme to properly tag and release fishes. Data on tagged and recaptured fish are summarized in annual re- ports and are accessible on VIMS website: http://www.vims.edu/vgftp/. Time series data are organized and provided when requested by anglers, angling groups, researchers, and fishery managers.
