You are assuming that H20 can read mind you, and if he can that he actually would read the regs...

Hey Everyone, I was flipping through the regs this morning and found this on page 123 for Marine Area 13.  It also had a picture of a unit they use, its the same as the one in this post.:

TAGGED LINGCOD IN PUGET SOUND
As part of a collaborative study to determine the costs and
benefits of lingcod stock enhancement, a small number
of hatchery-reared lingcod were released in South Puget
Sound. A small or large acoustic telemetry tag (see
picture) was implanted internally near the stomach.
If you encounter one of these lingcod, please save the
tag and contact Jon Lee at 360-871-8321, or email him at
Jon.Lee@noaa.gov.
