Game fish

[citation needed] The species of fish prized by anglers varies with geography and tradition.

Rainbow trout, for instance, can be found nearly anywhere the climate is appropriate, from their native range on the Pacific Coast of North America to the mountains of southern Africa,[1] and is now listed as one of the worst invasive species.

Some of their goals are to improve the management of fishery resources and to keep records on abundance, age, growth rates, migrations and breed identification.

This program issues anglers who tag and release 30 or more eligible species within a year a conservation award.

If possible, the tag number and the mailing address should be reported, along with the location and date of the recapture, as well with the measurement of the fish.
