Abstract |
Juvenile spot prawns, Pandalus platyceros (initial carapace length 15.0-22.5 mm), were successfully tagged with Bergman-Jefferts coded wire tags in the thoracic sinus. Tagged prawns, prawns subject to tagging needle insertion but without tags, and a control group were tested. No significant differences in growth and survival within or between test groups occurred and no behavioral changes were observed among tagged animals. All tagged prawns molted at least twice during the 6-mo experiment. Average retention was 95%. |
