Summary:oxyrinchus), and porbeagle (Lamna nasus). The extent of the tagging effort, areas of release and recapture, sources of tags and recaptures, capture methods, and movements of tagged sharks are reported by species. Summary information includes number of males and females tagged and recaptured, overall recapture rate, maximum observed speed, distance traveled, and time at liberty. In order to examine regional trends in size and maturation categories, the North Atlantic Ocean is divided into geographical areas. General migration patterns and stock identity by species are summarized and discussed. RÉSUMÉ
