Welcome to the New Zealand Rock Lobster Industry Council
TagTracker
system.
What is TagTracker?
TagTracker is a web application that enables anyone who catches a
tagged rock lobster to find out where and when that rock lobster was
released, how far it has moved and how much it has grown.
How do I use TagTracker?
TagTracker is set up for tag
recapture reporting by amateur and
commercial fishermen, and to enable database base management by
research scientists and field technicians. Here is a brief summary of
the menu window functions. More information can be found on the
individual windows.
Examples:
Shows examples of the
information that TagTracker provides for individual tag recapture
reports. If you have not used TagTracker before this is a good place to
start.
Summaries:
Gives summaries of the
number of lobsters that have been released and recaptured by year,
quota management area and statistical area.
Recapture
Report: Allows you
to enter recapture information for the tagged lobster that you have
encountered. When you complete this section you will have access to a
detailed report of "your" tagged lobster and can subscribe to receive
email notifications each time a recapture report is logged for that tag.
Subscription:
Use this window if
you want to subscribe to a tag, see which tags you are subscribed to,
or unsubscribe from a tag. When you subscribe to a tag you will receive
an email each time the tag is recaptured.
Batch:
Only used by field
technicians. When field technicians do an initial release of tags
they can enter the tags into the TagTracker database.
