When you catch a shark or ray with a tag in it, we ask that you record the following information as accurately and completely as possible:
  • Tag number and color
  • Species and sex (males have claspers - see photo below)
  • Date of capture
  • Location caught (latitude and longitude preferred, but specific description works)
  • Length and/or weight and whether it was estimated or measured
  • Type of length (fork or total) and/or type of weight (whole or dressed)
  • Fishing method (rod and reel, longline, etc.)
  • Release condition: did you keep the shark or release it alive—if released alive, indicate whether released with the same tag, a different tag, or no tag and condition of the fish
  • If you photographed the shark or ray, please send us the photo
Be sure to include your name, mailing address, men's t-shirt size, and email address.
There are two ways you can report this information to us:

  • Email us at: glangford@flsouthern.edu -and- adurland@flsouthern.edu  (using both emails assures we get your email)
  • Mail in the information to FSC Shark Tagging Program, Department of Biology, Florida Southern College, 111 Lake Hollingsworth Dr., Lakeland, FL 33801
We will send you a report with information on the shark you caught and a t-shirt to thank you for your participation. Email us with any questions.
