The two largest indi- viduals, 93 and 94 inches long, were estimated to weigh approximately 300 pounds. The fish were laid on their bellies in the well of the boat, measured with a steel tape, tagged, and then turned on their side while a one-inch section of the first peetoral ray was removed with a small hacksaw and knife. Tiny were reasonably calm as long as they were kept upright, In it could be held still only with difficulty when turned on their sides. Several types of tags were used in tagging method experiments, including Petersen disks and stainless steel wire (type 302) on the base of the upper lobe of the caudal fin, plastic "spaghetti" type G tags inserted between two dorsal scutes, tantalum wire disk-dangler tags below the dorsal fin, and disk-dangler tags on the upper lobe of the caudal fin (Table 1). Most fish were double tagged.

Fin ray sections were removed from a total of 520 fish. Of these, 443 were netted, 45 were obtained Prom anglers, and 32 small fish ranging in length from 8 to 18 inches were taken at the fish screens of the Tracy Pumping Plant.
