Description

Abstract: During February and March, 1955 a crab tagging experiment was carried out in Yaquina Bay, by personnel of the Oregon Fish Commission Shellfish Laboratory.

Purpose: The purpose of the experiment was to determine a proper release pattern of tagged crabs and the random distribution of bay crabs. Several other objectives were also in mind at the beginning of the experiment, such as population estimates and fishery intensity. The latter objectives were only partially carried out.
