This report is not to be quoted without prior consultation with the General Secretary.Abstract
Continuing a series of tagg ing experiments cover ing most of the
Norwegian coast each year since 1972, 15 038 saithe were tagged in
inshore localities in 1978-1980. In addition, 1494 «ai the caught
by trawl were tagg ed on the coastal banks at about 63°N in 1980.
The results general ly confirm the migration pattern from the
earlier experiments. There is some evidence of migration from the
coastal banks to more shallow waters, which is opposite to the
general direction
