Project Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) Tags for catfish identification.
General Information
1.0 Scope of Work
The Warmwater Aquaculture Research Unit (WARU) requires 50,000 Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags that are implanted in catfish musculature to provide an individual identification for fish co-cultured in tanks or ponds. The tag is approximately 12 mm in length and approximately 2 mm in diameter and contains a hexadecimal code that is read by Biomark PIT tag readers already existing at WARU. These tags are off-the-shelf items.
2.0 Background
Catfish used for US aquaculture have very similar physical characteristics, so tagging to identify individual fish is critical for accurate measurement of growth rate, carcass yield, and other production traits in individuals. PIT (Passive Integrated Transponder) tags are identification tags that are implanted in catfish muscle to provide a unique identity to each fish.
These fish belong to the catfish genetic improvement program at the USDA, ARS, Warmwater Aquaculture Research Unit in Stoneville, MS. Tens of thousands of fish are hatched in May and June each year, raised in tanks in our hatchery (Bldg 46), then tags are implanted at approximately 6 months of age prior to moving the fish to outdoor ponds for another year of growth. The tags remain with the fish as broodstock.
