Mortality Assessment of Tagging Largemouth Bass Hollingsworth, S. D., K. L., Pope (kpope@ttu.edu), and G. R. Wilde (gwilde@ttu.edu), Department of Range, Wildlife, and Fisheries Management, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas 79409 We compared delayed (6 days) mortality rates among tagged (Floy tag) and untagged largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides that were captured by angling and electrofishing. No difference in delayed mortality rates was found between tagged and untagged largemouth bass. Delayed mortality was higher for largemouth bass collected by angling than electrofishing. Overall, delayed mortality rates were high for all fish captured, likely due to poor condition (i.e., low relative weights) of largemouth bass.
