Have you seen me?
Researchers at Nicholls State University
are working to better understand blue
crab migrations. This information will
help ensure the continued sustainability
of the blue crab fishery. We are tagging
several thousand mature female blue
crabs throughout coastal Louisiana to
track their migration patterns, focusing
on the Terrebonne and Pontchartrain
basins. We need your help.
If you find a crab with a tag, please let researchers know:
•  the tag number (C01108 on the crab shown above)
•  where you caught the crab
•  date you caught the crab
•  presence/absence of an egg mass (and color, if present)
There is a $5–$50 reward for every reported tag.
Call 1-800-624-2857 or visit www.crabtags.org
for more information or to report a tagged crab.
