Returns in the third year are for the first nine months of that year only. The total percentage returned and the pattern of elapsed time be- tween tagging and recapture were essentially the same for the three metals within each of the three years following tagging (see Table 1 and Figure 2). The general similarity of the returns of the three types of tags throughout the entire recovery period is shown by Figni-e An analysis of variance failed to show any statistically significant difference in the returns of the three types of wires, using the mean number of days at large as the criterion for distinction. The mean number of days at large and standard deviation for each type of wire are given in Table 2. Figure 1 (lower) reveals that a slightly smaller percentage of striped bass tagged with medium soft stainless steel wire were returned in the shorter kngth classes, compared with tantalum and dea
