Abstract

To test the reliability of PIT tags and VIE marks as new marking techniques for the bullhead Cottus gobio, different tagging treatments were assayed. The relatively high recapture rates suggest the applicability of both marking techniques for this small benthic fish species.

Tag

Visible Implant Elastomer (VIE)

Objective

Tag evaluation
