From the introduction: "Taking advantage of the annual release of a large number of adult cod at the fish-cultural station of the United States Fish Commission at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, the writer suggested that it might be possible to secure some useful information concerning the natural history of the cod by marking or tagging the fish just before their liberation. Accordingly in the winter of 1897-98, and in the three succeeding years the available fish were tagged so that they might be recognized if recaptured.".
