TagTracker:Recapture Report

You can use this window to record your observations of a tagged rock lobster. In return for the information you provide TagTracker will give you detailed information including a map showing where the lobster moved, the speed and direction it moved and how fast it grew. It is important that you still send paper copies of your rock lobster recapture forms to:

NZ Rock Lobster Industry Council
Private Bag 24-901
Wellington

If you need help with a particular part of the form click on the Help icon next to it.

When you enter data it will be error checked. More details on the error checks that are done can be found here.
