An update from the guys at Sportfishing the Netherlands.
Last year they started a smoothhound tagging programme and on Valentine’s day they were informed of the recapture of one of their fish in the Bay of Biscay – around a 1000Km from where it was originally tagged on 20.08.11
More information on the sharks and rays caught and released by the programme in the southern part of the North Sea can be found here.
