Fish Tagging

Fish tagging involves attaching a small, controlled device or marker to a fish to monitor its movements, behavior, and population dynamics. Researchers use various tagging methods, such as visible tags or electronic tags, to track fish in natural habitats. This helps scientists gather data on migration patterns, growth rates, and survival, informing sustainable fishing practices and conservation efforts. Tagging is conducted carefully to minimize stress to the fish and ensure accurate data collection, making it a valuable tool in marine biology and fisheries management.
