“…These include external tags (McAllister et al 1992), in addition to advanced electronic, transponder and radio-based systems (Cookingham & Ruetz 2008, Campana et al 2009, Shroyer & Logsdon 2009). In terrestrial agriculture, physical tags, usually placed in the animal's ear soon after birth, are used widely for documenting both ownership and animal pedigree.…”

Aquaculture management authorities require the ability to identify the farm of origin for escaped fish. Physical tagging is routinely conducted for domesticated animals (e.g. sheep and cattle); however, there are considerable logistical, animal welfare and economic issues that challenge the feasibility of physically tagging all farmed fish. A 'DNA stand-by method' for identification of escaped Atlantic salmon, back to the cage and farm of origin, was established at the Institute of Marine Research in Norway. In addition, proof-of-concept for the method has been demonstrated to be able to trace rainbow trout and Atlantic cod escapees back to their farm source. The combined sampling, genotyping and statistical analysis on which the method is based has been implemented successfully in the identification of fish farm escapees in Norway, resulting in fines for companies found in breach of regulations. This paper reviews the method, its challenges, and some previously considered alternatives. It is concluded that as the method has been successful for the 3 major species farmed in Norway, each with contrasting production logistics including breeding programs, state of domestication, and magnitude of production, the DNA stand-by method can be applicable to identification of fish farm escapees for a wide range of aquaculture species in all regions of the world.

“…For example, tag loss rates in rainbow trout were 12–19% for FD‐67 anchor (similar to the anchor T‐tag) and 13–32% for Carlin tags over a 9‐ to 12‐month period in a hatchery environment (McAllister et al . ). Similarly, the overall loss rate of surgically implanted radio transmitter in rainbow trout was observed to be 13% within 12 weeks (Welch et al .…”

The effects of four different tagging methods (PIT, anchor T‐tag, Carlin tag and dummy radio transmitter) on survival, behaviour and growth of Atlantic salmon smolts during their downstream migration were examined in semi‐natural circular channels during a natural migration period in spring. Survival of smolts was high and tagging wounds healed well in all tagging groups. Tag loss rates were generally low, being the highest (2.5%) in the dummy radio transmitter group. Total length and body mass of the tagged and untagged smolts did not differ at the end of the experiment. Migration activity of smolts generally showed similar patterns among the treatments. However, Carlin‐tagged smolts started their migration slightly later than the PIT‐tagged fish, and smolts tagged with Carlin tag or dummy radio transmitter showed less overall migration activity than fish with PIT tag.

“…Squid that showed any visible damage, primarily from cannibalistic attacks by other squid, were not tagged. McAllister et al (1992) evaluated 9 commercially available tags to determine their suitability for marking rainbow trout Onchorhynchus mykiss and found that the tubing tags (model FT-4 cinch-up, Floy Tag) were the most effective tag for fish maintained in raceways. The spaghetti-type, plastic cinch-up tag also showed high performance when it was used to insert intraperitoneal transmitters into 4 fish species (Butler et al 2009).…”
