Tagging

Fish marking is an essential technique in aquaculture, used to track and identify individual fish throughout their life cycle. This method is employed for stock management, growth monitoring, and scientific research. It also helps to reduce the risks of mixing stocks and ensures better health monitoring.

Marking can be done in various ways, including tattooing, electronic marking (RFID tags), or fluorescent color applied to the scales, depending on the specific needs of the aquaculture operation.
