In this study, Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) telemetry was used to assess the upstream-directed movements of 111 river-resident brown trout (length, 151 510-mm) into and through a 151 510-mm, nature-lintobypand on througher aire, England.
Several of these sites had been previously used in rabies ecology studies, and some bats had been tagged with Passive Integrated Transponders (PIT tags) for host demographic analysis [31], [32].
Leatherback turtles nesting on this beach are tagged with internal permanent markers (passive integrated transponder [PIT] tags) placed in the turtle's right shoulder muscle, which enables temporal monitoring of the females during and between nesting seasons.
Smaller passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags [9], [10] have the advantage of being very tiny and not requiring batteries, however, the disadvantage is that in order to detect PIT tagged organisms they need to pass very close to a reader or antenna.
Fish were implanted with a Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tag containing a specific code to identify each individual fish and thus the family to which they belong.
PIT: Passive integrated transponder; ANOVA: Analysis of Variance; RA: ANOVA-based repeatability; SE: Standard error; rs: Spearman rank correlations coefficient; SD: Standard deviation.
Steelhead ≥65 mm FL were tagged with Passive Integrated Transponders (PIT tags) for mark recapture assessment of individual growth rates; however, recapture rates were exceedingly low and we used only size-frequency data to infer growth for the model.
Fish sometimes loose their Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT -tags (PIT -tags& Flagg 1990), some of these individuals were tagged and genotyPrenticen, and identical genotypes, combined with compatible length measurements, helped us confirm that an individual had been captured before.
Each individual was identified using a PIT (Passive Integrated Transponder) tag, and a similar number of fish from each of the 118 full sib families were placed in each tank.
A total of 1355 fish were individually tagged (Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT), Glass tag Unique 2.12 × 12 mm, Jojo Automasjon AS, Sola, Norway) and measured (mass ± S.D. = 40.7 ± 0.2 g and fork lengths = 15.0 ± 0.3 cm) before being graded according to their swimming performance.
