Tagging Systems

Decimal Coded Wire Tags ^TM (CWT)

CWT may be used for individual or batch identification. This photograph shows half length (0.5 mm) CWT fish tags implanted into the snouts of juvenile pink salmon.

VI Alpha Tags

VI Alpha Tags are implanted beneath transparent tissue but remain externally visible for individual identification. VI Alpha Tags are used extensively in fish and amphibians. The photograph shows VI Alpha fish tags in the periocular tissue of a juvenile coho salmon

Visible Implant Elastomer Tags (VIE)

VIE tags are injected internally but are externally visible. They are used primarily for batch identification. VIE fish tags are widely used as an alternative to toe clipping for identifying reptiles and amphibians.  These VIE fish tags were implanted  under the exoskeleton of shrimp, and remain intact through molts.

The AutoFish System can be customized to perform any combination of: sorting, adipose fin clipping, or CWT fish tag injection without the use of anesthetic or human handling  on Pacific salmon and steelhead (Oncorhynchus sp.).

Individual Fish Counter

The Individual Fish Counter is designed to count fish when they are being processed by hand, such as for fin clipping or vaccination.  The system reliably counts fish as small as 0.5 grams.
