CWT offer very high potential for stock assessment (Blankenship and Leber 1995 [Abstract]). This has been demonstrated for Pacific salmon (Johnson 1990 [Abstract]), Pacific Herring (Schweigert and Flostrand 2000 [Abstract]), New Zealand snapper Pagrus auratus, and red drum (Willis et al. 1995 [Abstract]). Developments in CWT magnetic detection equipment have increased the potential for automated recovery, even when processing literally tons of specimens (Schweigert and Flostrand 2000 [Abstract]).
VI Alpha tags provide individual identification so are not recommended for stock assessment.
VIE - The high application and retention rates of VIE tags provide potential uses for stock assessment.
