Popis:	The growth and survival of 50 largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) tagged with Floy anchor tags (FD-68B) and marked with a pectoral fin clip were compared to a control group of 50 untagged and unmarked bass during a 191-day study period in a 0.08 hectare pond. Survival of the experimental and control groups was 100 and 98%, respectively. There was no significant difference (P = 0.05) between the total lengths, weights, or condition values of fish in the experimental or control groups at either the start or end of the experiment. These results indicated that the use of Floy anchor tags in conjunction with an accessory mark had no significant effect on survival or growth of largemouth bass under the controlled conditions of this study and suggested that this tagging and marking combination could be used to provide reliable estimates of vital fishery statistics for this species.
