  • Instructions for marking pups
    • Pups of green flipper-tagged moms:  use 3 digits of the mom's tag (not 4 digits, so we can differentiate mom and pup).  Also need to enter this information twice:  once in the mom's resight and once to make the pup a new animal in the database.
    • Pups of white/pink/violet tagged moms:  use the tag color code and 2 digits from the mom's tag (e.g. W12)
    • Pups of unknown moms:  each individual researcher is assigned a letter for sequential marks (e.g. 1M, 2M, 3M,... 21M, 22M, etc.)
