WHEN students from
Irwin Park School in
West Vancouver went
to help tag salmon,
they knew they
wouldn’t: be saying,
“You're it” to the fish. |

The grade seven students
were just a few of the many
helpers who participated in
three days worth of tagging
at .the West Vancouver
Laboratory of the Federal
Fisheries Department.

This was the first time

portunity to become in-
volved in the tagging
operation which offered first
hand information on the
Fisheries role in monitoring
the salmon.

At the Fisheries lab the
young coho salmon weighing
three to six grams have their
aditose fin cut off and then a
minute tag is placed in their
mouth.

The tag is a tiny piece of
metal which has _ various
grooves and markings on it.

~

When a fish is released a
record is taken of what type
of tag it has and this in-
formation can be looked u
later when a tagged fish 1s
caught.

This information supplies
vital facts to the Fisheries
program and is part of the
exciting salmon saga.
