 ORI Fish Tagging Project: Tag Return

Two KZN south coast anglers, Koos Viviers and Dave Sproston (now in Plettenberg Bay) have something fishy in common. Dave tagged a catface rockod three years ago, and Koos recently re-caught it. Koos found the tag and submitted it to the Oceanographic Research Institute. The details are below:
