The tautog, Tautoga onitis, or blackfish is a common reef fish in Long Island Sound. Blackfish are a popular catch for recreational anglers, they fill several important ecological roles as hallmarks of a healthy coastal ecosystem, are an iconic image, and a favorite subject for scientific research. Their common and scientific names are derived from the Narragansett language. This presentation will explore multiple facets of blackfish life history with a focus on ecology and the local ecosystem.
