Fisheries & Oceans Canada in Bella Coola, BC, plays a crucial role in the recovery of coded wire tags found in Coho and Chinook salmon. The sportfishing community is actively involved in this initiative, which helps monitor the health of salmon stocks and the overall value of the resource to anglers.

Each year, over 50 million juvenile salmon are tagged, with approximately 5.5 million tags applied using specialized wire. Anglers can identify tagged fish by the absence of an adipose fin and are encouraged to submit the heads of these fish to designated recovery depots to ensure accurate data collection.
