Spaghetti tag



This spaghetti tag gets implanted into the top of a shark, just under the dorsal fin.  The yellow portion of the tag remains attached to the shark, and contains a unique identifying number and the phone number and address of the Southwest Fisheries Science Center.  If a fisherman catches a tagged shark, they can call the laboratory with the location of their catch, providing valuable information about range.
