 objective |
|
The
goals of the Working Party on Tagging are to:
- Review and identify the objectives and scope (e.g.
which species and spatial scales) of any proposed
tagging experiment.
- Propose aims, designs and methods for pilot studies
that might assist in the successful execution of the
tagging programme.
- Identify impediments to achieving the desired objectives
and where possible identify measures for overcoming
these impediments.
- Determine the most appropriate design of a tagging
experiment (e.g. temporal and spatial coverage, number
of tags, types of tags) needed to achieve the identified
objectives.
- Review and identify the best means of implementing
a tagging experiment (e.g. platform, logistic arrangements)
and identify possible logistical difficulties (e.g.
availability of boats, bait) and how these may be
best overcome.
- Determine the types and levels of publicity required
to maximize the return of tags and assess the utility
of supplementary tag seeding experiments for the estimation
of reporting rates.
- Determine the budget for a tagging experiment and
identify possible funding sources.
- Provide coordination to ensure the successful implementation
for a tagging experiment, identify and coordinate
on-going work and analyses required to achieve the
program objective
