| Abstract | Being able to individually follow fish <40 mm in length is a challenge for fish research. In the present study we examined whether the use of visible implant elastomer (VIE) tags is suitable for research on first-feeding rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss raised under laboratory conditions. We assessed the effect of tagging and tagging location on the growth and survival of juveniles over a 34-d period. We also documented the retention rate and visibility of the tags under natural light. This study validates the use of VIE tags for 25-40-mm fish under laboratory conditions, using the base of the dorsal fin and upper or lower caudal fin as tagging locations. |
