Abstract
Tautog are a cold water, benthic wrasse species native to the coastal waters of the Northeastern United States. Within the last 40 years, the commercial and recreational fisheries for this fish have grown substantially, and have placed a number of unique threats on their population. This memoir uses my own personal experiences as a commercial and charter fisherman as well as scientific research to discuss the human and naturally driven threats, as well as possible solutions to the issue at hand.
