iv I NTRODUCTI ON

This study wa s undertaken as part of an attempt to understand the migration and stock identity of the king mackerel, Scomberomorus caval1a, and the Spanish mackerel, S. maculatu5 , in the Gul f of Mexico. The NOAA/ NMFS Southeast Fisheries Ce nter's (SEFC) Panama City Laboratory, under the MARFIN Program, contracted with Mote Marine Laboratory (MMl) to work under the Mexus ­ Gulf Agreement to report length/ frequency distributions, catch per unit effort (CPUE) information, to obtain specimens for electrophoresis and to tag Spanish mackerel at specific Mexican l ocations (Figure 1). These locations were chosen so that the tagging effort would correspond with mackerel migration patterns off Mexico. Tagging efforts were co ncentrated off the State of Yucatan (Figure 2) duri ng the winter (Qua rter IV and Quart.e ,­ V) portion of the study. This report outlines MML 's success in achieving the above -mentioned goals.

3 I. MOVEMENT AND MIGRATION OF MACKEREL

A. Tagging Synopsis (January - March) As reported in the Quarter IV Report, MM L and PESCA biologists made numerous attempts to tag Spanish mackerel, but wer e thwarted by high winds and rough seas. For most of the months of November and December all of the fishing po rts were closed due to dangerous marine conditions. Wh en fishermen were able to work, they remained close to shore fis hing primarily for red grouper and octopus . A fe w fishermen ventured out off the coast t o fish for mackerel; four drowned. Because the bad weather lasted for the dUration of the tagging effort, it was not possible to tag any fi sh. Tags and equi pment were left with PESCA personnel from the Ce ntro Regional de In vestigacione s Pe sq uera-Yucal peten in order to all ow them t o tag fish when the bad weather ·subsided. CRIP-Yucalpeten personnel made va rious trips to the fishing village of Celestun (Figure 2.) during th e mo nths of January and February tq tag Span i sh mackerel and obtain length/frequency measurements. Th e data wa s ma i led to MML more than three weeks ago but never arrived. MML personnel wi l l obtain a copy of t he data on the way to Veracruz and include the information in the final report.

B. Ta g Returns Four verified tags were returned during Quarter V. Tag (46,33 5) was fr om a king mackerel tagged off Port Aransas, Texas, on August 8, 1990 and recaptured off Sabancuy, on January 17 , 1991 -- a distance of 1100 miles in 153 days of freedom . Th e other t hree tags (E46301, E46 36 I & 09146) also wer e from king mackere l tagged off Texas. Tag s E4630I and E46361 both were from king mackerel tagged off Port Aransas, Texas. The mackerel with tag number E46301 was tagge d on 19 June, 1990, and recaptured on 12 December, 1990 off Coatzacoa lcos, Veracruz; 176 days of freedom and a distance of 740 miles. The mackerel with tag number E46361 was released on 29 June. 1990, and recaptured on 21 November, 1990 off Coatzacoalcos. Veracruz; after 115 days of freedom and 740 miles. Tag number 09146 was from a king ma cke rel tagged off Port Man sfield, Texa s on 28 June, 1987, and recaptured after 1311 days of freedom on 29 January, 1991 off La Blanquille. Vera cruz; a distance of 578 miles. All new tags are identified in Table 1 by asterisks. Eighty-five tags (25 king and 60 Spanish

4 mackere l) were recovered durin9 1990. A total of 250 (182 king an d 68 Spanish mackere l ) tag returns have been recorded by MMl since 1986. Al l tags presented in Table 1 are by release area and in Appendix ] by nUmeric al sequence. Signifi cant tag returns for both king and Spanish mac k ~ rp.l s ince 1986 withi n Mexico and between the United States and Mex i co are sho wn in Figures 3- 10 .

1. Reward Poster Distribution Dissemination of information through newspaper articles and th E> distribution of flyers and reward po sters (Figure 11) constitute a major effort in informing the public abo ut the program and the reward system for tagged fish. Reward po sters were distributed to all participating PE SCA laboratories in Mexico. Dur i ng the various quarters they have been posted in fish hou se s , local fishing cooperatives, PESCA laboratories and local PESCA offices along the Mexican Gulf Coast. Sub-areas of poster and flyer distribution during 1990 ha w~ been listed in the Quarter IV report.

2. Public Presentations The rewa rd poster has been reprinted in flyer format and copies have been distributed to local fishermen by biologists during tagging operations and length/frequency collections. Flyers have also been distributed to fi shing coope ratives and PESCA offices along the Mexican Gulf Coast .

3. Rapid Reward System Mote Marine Laboratory is continuing to maintain small accounts at all participating PESCA laboratories to ensure immediate payment of tags .
