Abstract |
Survival of anchovies (Stolephorus purpureus), held in tanks for 30 days after being tagged with a tiny wire implanted automatically by a new device, was 80.5% and tag loss 14.7%. Both criteria were superior to those reported for engraulids tagged by other methods. Advantages of the new tag are small size, internal location, ease of implantation, and capability of being detected automatically. |
