Retention of visible implant tags in small rockpool fishes
نویسنده
چکیده
Retention and associated fish mortality of visible implant alphanumeric (VIA) and fluorescent elastomer tags was assessed in 2 Australian intertidal rockpool fishes, Girella elevata (Girellidae) and Bathygobius cocosensis (Gobiidae). Mean retention of VIA and elastomer tags after 90 d was 32 ± 20% and 77 ± 19%, respectively. After 90 d the fish mean mortality from VIA tags (20 ± 5%) was significantly higher than from elastomer tags (7 ± 2%) and untagged control groups (11 ± 2%). Elastomer tags appear most suitable for marking batches of fish of various size, while VIA tags appear suitable for identification of larger individuals of species such as many gobies that have adequate transparent tissue for tag recognition.

—Retention and readability of small (2.5 3 1.0 3 0.1-mm) and large (3.0 3 1.5 3 0.1mm) visible implant (VI) tags were compared among different size-classes (211–470 mm total length, TL) of hatchery brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis. Among smaller size-groups (,400 mm TL), retention of large tags (63–86%) 100 d after tagging was less than retention of small tags (89–97%). Overall retention of la...
متن کاملEvaluation of visible implant elastomer tags in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
The use of the visible implant elastomer (VIE) tagging system in zebrafish (Danio rerio) was examined. Two tag orientations (horizontal and vertical) at the dorsal fin base were tested for tag retention, tag fragmentation and whether VIE tags affected growth and survival of juvenile zebrafish (1-4 month post hatch). Six tag locations (abdomen, anal fin base, caudal peduncle, dorsal fin base, pe...

Introduction: Surface roughness can increase the retention of castings by ridges and grooves that are microretentive. This study compared the retention of implant-supported crowns when used with 3 different surface roughness abutments and one temporary cement. Methods: Thirty solid abutments (ITI), 4 mm high, were divided into three groups randomly. In the first group, 10 abutments were roughen...

Objectives: The present study evaluated the effect of bar and ball attachment designs on retention and stability of a mandibular overdenture supported by four implants. Methods: An edentulous mandibular acrylic resin model with four implants in the anterior part of the ridge (A, B, D and E) was fabricated. A metal framework simulating the overdenture was also fabricated. Totally, 30...
