Recent advances in bio-sensing technologies open for new possibilities to monitor and
safeguard the welfare of fishes in aquaculture. Yet before taken into practice, the …

Electronic tags are widespread tools for studying aquatic animal behavior; however, tags
risk behavioral manipulation and negative welfare outcomes. During an experiment to test …

Biotelemetry is a useful tool to monitor the movements of animals and is widely applied in
fisheries research. Radio or acoustic technology can be used, depending on the study …

The purpose of the present study was to characterize the surgical methods researchers use
to implant telemetry transmitters in fish and obtain their opinions on fish surgical techniques …

Simple Summary Good fish welfare is one of the prerequisites for sustainable aquaculture.
Knowing how fish respond to the production conditions would allow us to better understand …

Background Passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags are widely used in studies of various
aspects of fish survival, movement and behaviour. Quality of such studies depends on the …

Biotelemetry—the process of conveying data from a transmitter-attached animal to a data
collection site—has received increasing awareness from fisheries researchers. Prior to …

The study of movement in catfish via telemetry can be problematic because of transmitter
expulsion. Information regarding transmitter retention in blue catfish Ictalurus furcatus is …

Although individual electronic tagging using passive integrated acoustic (PIT) tags is
established, it is mainly for fish> 60 mm in length and is unsuitable for fish of< 30 mm, like …

Individual identification of fish is often desirable for the smallest possible size, but it is crucial
that tagging does not interfere with fish survival, physiology, or behavior. We evaluated radio …
