  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Release and recapture data relating to cod tagged and released in the North 
Sea (ICES Subarea 4). Between 1961 and 2015, a total of 22,573 cod were tagged 
and released using either conventional marker-ID tags and in the more recent 
years of the dataset, electronic data storage tags (DSTs), of which 6,703 tags 
were subsequently returned. For tagged fish that were recaptured as much 
information as possible was recorded, namely the recapture date and location, 
length, weight, sex and maturity. Otoliths (ear stones) were removed for age 
determination purposes and other studies. These data are used to provide 
information for studies relating to fish behaviour, growth and identification 
of stock units.</dc:description>
