Why are fish being tagged? Tagging allows to investigate migration behaviour of fishes. Valuable information on numbers and migration routes of fish can be acquired. We also call this "Monitoring".
How are fish being tagged? Fish are being marked or tagged, among others, using colour dots on the skin, small labels, fin clipping and transmitters. Transmitters can be attached to the outside or also inserted into the fish body. You'll find an overview of the usual marking methods on the right side of this page. By clicking on the photos you'll get additional information about the respective method.
What to do when I have caught or found a tagged fish? Have it registered under all circumstances! Find the registration form here! Fish Registration Form The scientists depend on your help. Every registration is very valuable!
