“…Estimates of long-term (one to several months) elastomer retention rates include 60% in squawfish (Haines et al, 1998), 92-100% in lobster (Uglem et al, 1996;Linnane and Mercer, 1998), and 100% in shrimp (Godin et al, 1996). Factors contributing to variability include site of tag insertion (Kneib and Huggler, 2001), experience of people operating the tagging equipment (Bailey et al, 1998;Close, 2000), and conditions in which animals are kept (Guy et al, 1996).…”

“…In response to concerns about amphibian declines, Jung et al (2000) evaluated and validated amphibian monitoring techniques using VIE tags in studies in the Shenandoah and Big Bend national parks, USA. Godin et al (1995) found that to identify populations of shrimp, Penaeus vannamei, individuals could be tagged internally using an externally visible elastomer. Basic considerations in the use of tags in fisheries management or research include the effects of the tags on animal survival, behavior, growth, permanency, and recognition and the cost of the marking technique (McFarlane and Beamish, 1990;Park and Lee, 2001).…”

The aim of this study was to assess visible implant fluorescent elastomer (VIE) tagging and stress response in marine medaka, Oryzias dancena. The experimental fish were anesthetized individually and marked with red, yellow, or green elastomer at each of the following three body locations: (1) the abdomen, (2) the back, and (3) the caudal vasculature. During 12 months, the accumulated survival rates of fish in the experimental treatments were not different among red, yellow, and green elastomers. The experimental fish retained > 85% of the tags injected in the back, > 70% of the tags injected in the caudal vasculature, and > 60% of the tags injected in the abdomen (P < 0.05). An important observation was that the abdomen site was associated with poor tag retention. For all injected sites, the red and green tags were able to be detected more easily than the yellow tags when observed under both visible and UV lights. Tag readability was lower for the abdomen site than for the other sites (back and caudal vasculature). Thus, VIE tags were easy to apply to marine medaka (< 1 min per fish) and were readily visible when viewed under UV light.

“…Visible Implant Elastomer (VIE), produced by Northwest Marine Technology (NMT) Inc. (Washington, United States of America), has been used for some time to tag marine organisms including fish (e.g., Frederick 1997), shrimp (e.g., Godin et al 1996), lobster (e.g., Uglem et al 1996), and crab (e.g., Davis et al 2004). More recently, it has been used with squid (e.g., Replinger and Wood 2007), frogs (e.g., Nauwelaerts et al 2000), salamanders (e.g., Kinkead et al 2006), snakes (Hutchens et al 2008), and turtles (Davy et al 2010).…”

Using Visible Implant Elastomer to tag insects across life stages: a preliminary investigation with blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Abstract-Visible Implant Elastomer (VIE) has previously been used successfully to tag individuals in a variety of marine and amphibious animals, earthworms, and scorpions. Visible Implant Elastomer tags were injected into third instars of the blow fly Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae) to test its compatibility and retention across life stages. Injecting into the dorsal midline of the 11th segment (seventh abdominal segment) produced survival rates of 80%, with no significant difference in the subsequent rate of development (z 5 0.21, P 5 0.83) as compared with untagged insects. Tags remained visible and allowed identification of individuals within a feeding, intermingling aggregation (maggot mass), especially when a high-contrast fluorescent colour was used. Tags were retained across life-stage changes and were easily found in dissected adults. Résumé-Les
