Bottomfish tagging data

Description

This dataset contains tagging data for bottomfish from research fishing and intensive tagging efforts around the Main Hawaiian Islands from 2007-2005 and around Guam from 2011. The data include information on tagging/recapture of the bottomfish for 2007-2015 as well as any separate recapture information for 2015. Tagging/recapture information include the fisher, vessel, location of capture in latitude and longitude, location by island or around an island, the tag number, date tagged, fork length of fish, techniques used to limit mortality due to barotrauma, species of fish, depth caught, and whether it was a recapture. Recapture information for 2015 include whether the fish was a recapture, and if so, the fisher who recaptured it as well as the recapture date, location, and length. The data were collected on multiple contracts over many years, and therefore each field was not necessarily entered for every event. The recapture information dataset has not been extensively QC'd and should, particularly information on length and location of first capture, of the recaptured fish.
