Review of Marking for Coded-Wire-Tags and Mark Selective Fishing by PSC SFECThis special assignment requested the SFEC provide answers to three specific questions related to marking of salmon for the purpose of identifying coded-wire tags (CWT) and for selective harvest of hatchery origin salmon in mark selective fisheries (MSF). The full text of this assignment and these three specific questions are provided in Appendix 1.2006
