Abstract
Tagging of 398 Atlantic wolffish, Anarhichas lupus, 81 Spotted wolffish, A. minor, and 101 northern wolffish, A. denticulatus, with Petersen disc tags in the Newfoundland area during 1962-66 yielded 5.0, 7.4 and 3.0% returns respectively. Recapture information indicates that migrations are generally short but some rather long migrations were noted. The rate of recapture of Atlantic wolfish declined rapidly from 15.4% for coastal taggings to 6.7% for offshore taggings except Flemish Cap and to 1.1% for Flemish Cap tagging. Depths of recapture of Atlantic wolffish ranged from 20 to 476 m.
