Tag Rewards
NASCO operates a Tag Return Incentive Scheme. Individually identifiable, external tags that are returned to the appropriate authorities in the country of capture are eligible for inclusion in the draw. Each year a Grand Prize of US$2,500 is awarded together with three prizes of US$1,500, one in each of NASCO's three Commission areas. In 2009, approximately 700 tags were entered into the draw and the prize winners came from Canada, Greenland and Norway. For the Grand Prize, the winning tag was of Canadian origin. The tag was applied to a kelt on 5 June 2007 at Campbellton River, Newfoundland. The fish was angled 35 days later at Third Pond on 11 July 2007. Spring tagging of kelts is used to determine the proportion of returning adults to the Campbellton River that are kelts. Read the Rules of the Scheme...
