| On/off reef |
| Whether clams were planted on or off the reef (for untagged live clams, on/off reef will be unknown) |

| Position |
| Position at which individual clam was assigned within the cage |
| nominal |
| Def | Facing marsh, position A was the left-most corner of the cage. Other positions were assigned alphabetically in a clockwise order. |

| Set # |
| Refers to a set of non-overlapping tag numbers (since FL used some tag numbers more than once at one site). Not relevant for GA because they had more bee tag colors and did not have to repeat tags at one site. |
| nominal |
| Def | Set of tags numbered as needed |

|
|
| Tag # |
| Tag on clam |
| nominal |
| Def | (color indicated by letter before number). Clams recovered without tags are listed as "no tag". Initial length, position, and on/off reef will be unknown for untagged clams. Tag number of clams processed for CI are color-coded blue. Many of the tag numbers of the off-reef clams planted at ACE, as recorded during installation, were unreadable due to damage to datasheet (unreadable tags indicated by question marks). |
