Abstract | Age 1+ Vimba fry tagged with visible implant fluorescent elastomers (VIFE) were introduced into the water bodies of the Drawa National Park in 2003, within the framework of a Vimba restitution program. VIFE, applied for the first time to mark the Vimba, have been widely used for marking not only fish, but also other vertebrate groups (amphibians and reptiles), as well as the invertebrates. The advantages of this method include simplicity, easy identification of tagged animals, high retention rates of the tags and a minimal effect on the survival rate, growth rate and behavior of animals. |
