in stock assessment and management. This is accomplished by the random 
recapture of tagged fish by fishermen and the subsequent voluntary 
submission of the appropriate data.

II. Method of Collection

    The recapture cards will be sent out to the constituents who will 
fill out the cards with the pertinent information when and if they 
recapture a tagged fish and mail the cards as instructed on the card.
