| Review of Marking for Coded-Wire-Tags and Mark Selective Fishing by PSC SFEC | Pacific Salmon Commission Selective Fisheries Evaluation Committee, 2006 Report SFEC (06)-1. This report summarizes the results of a literature review (electronic and agency “grey literature”) of all potential salmon marks suitable for mass marking or CWT indicators. Results for adipose and ventral fin mark studies were reviewed and compared for significant impacts to survival and fin regeneration. | 2006 |
