“…In Rey Méndez et al (2003), the PIT retention rate was not evaluated. Regarding the PIT tagging system in other marine organisms, it has been widely used in several species of fish (Baras, Westerloppe, Mélard & Philippart 1999; Baras, Malbrouck, Houbart, Kestemont & Mélard 2000; Roussel, Haro & Cunjak 2000; Bubb, Lucas, Thom & Rycroft 2002; Navarro et al 2006; Soula, Navarro, Zamorano, Roo, Real, Ginés, Hernández‐Cruz & Afonso 2006) and in sea turtles (Kamekazi, Kuroyanagi & Sugiyama 1998; Godley, Broderick & Moraghan 1999), with retention rates close to 100%.…”

Octopus vulgaris is a species of demand in the market with the potential to diversify European aquaculture. However, this species develops complex social interactions under culture conditions, which may have negative e¡ects on its growth, survival and pro¢tability. In order to understand its behaviour under such conditions, individual tagging systems allow a careful evaluation of biological parameters, such as growth and longevity. The present work describes a combined protocol (anaesthetic and tagging) for implanting subcutaneous passive integrated transponder tags (PIT). The e¡ect of two anaesthetic agents in facilitating octopus handling is assessed: clove oil at 20^40^100 mg L À 1 and ethanol (96%) at 1^1.5^2%. The most suitable body location of PIT tags, its e¡ect on growth and mortality, the addition of a stitch and the PIT retention rate after 2 months in £oating cages were evaluated. It was concluded that immersion in seawater with 1.5% of ethanol at 22.3 AE 0.5 1C is a suitable anaesthetic for this species. The results showed that the best-selected PIT body location was the upper left arm III. No e¡ect of the PIT tagging system was found on growth and survival when tagged and untagged octopuses were compared. It was observed after 2 months that the stitch did not induce an increase in the retention rate and 81^100% tag retention regardless of the dietary treatment.

“…Most negative impacts of VIE tagging on survival and/or performance have been shown to be a function of the size of organisms when tagged (Godin et al 1996;Soula et al 2007;Pillai, Sahoo, Mahapatra, Ponzoni, Sahu, Mohanty, Vijaykumar & Sahu 2009). Tagged organisms of relatively smaller size often show lower survival rates (Brown et al 2003) and their size can also limit the volume of VIE that can be injected.…”

“…External tagging systems have advantages of being relatively low cost, are easy to apply and do not require sophisticated equipment for identity detection. External tags, however, are often relatively large in size and can often affect growth, health and/or survival of tagged organisms (Navarro, Oliva, Zamorano, Ginés, Izquierdo, Astorga & Afonso 2006;Claverie & Smith 2007;Soula, Navarro, Zamorano, Roo, Real, Ginés & Afonso 2007). As a result, many types of external tags applied successfully in fish are inappropriate for crustaceans.…”

Experimental assessment of the utility of visible implant elastomer tags in a stock improvement programme for giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) in Vietnam

An important requirement of many breeding programmes for aquaculture species is the ability to identify organisms individually or at least by family. While a variety of external and internal tagging methods have been developed that can provide efficient identifications systems, most have specific drawbacks. The present study assessed the efficiency of an internal tagging method that can be applied to family selection programmes in crustacean species. Experiments were conducted to test the efficacy of applying visible implant elastomer (VIE) tags to juvenile giant freshwater prawn (GFP). The first experiment assessed performance of VIE tags in juvenile GFP of different size classes and stability of tags placed in different positions in the abdomen with different numbers of tags implanted. The second experiment applied VIE tags in a long term, large scale, field‐based farming experiment. The third experiment tested the reliability of the system. Results showed that juvenile GFP at 2 g were of suitable size for VIE tags with no negative effects evidence on growth and survival. Tag retention rates were above 97.8% in all experiments and tag readability rates were 100% with a correct assignment rate of 95% through to mature animal size of up to 170 g.

Based on the parentage identification results using 4 polymorphic short sequence repeats (SSRs) with both parents known, we assessed the accuracy of parentage identification for a single known parent using the same 4 SSRs and 4 other additional SSRs for 2507 Chinese shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis recaptured from Jiaozhou Bay in a 'molecular marker recapture' program. We detected a high variability in the 4 SSR loci EN0033, RS0622, FCKR002, and FCKR013. The 4 polymorphic loci produced a ≥99.99% cumulative exclusion probability for both known parents. We identified 8 parentage relationships with a logarithm (base 10) of odds (LOD) score of ≥3.0. Similar results were obtained when the 4 additional SSR loci were included. The cumulative exclusion probability decreased to 99.42% for a single known parent using the old 4 SSR loci, which enabled detection of 30 and 44 parentage relationships with a ≥3.0 LOD score for known paternity and maternity, respectively. Inclusion of the additional 4 SSR loci raised, the cumulative exclusion probability to ≥99.99%. However, the number of parentage relationships detected with an LOD score of ≥3.0 was reduced to 8 for the groups with known paternity or maternity, similar to the result obtained with both parents known. In this study, the accuracy of single-parent parentage identification using SSR loci was confirmed. Authentic parentage identification with a single known parent should incorporate both the cumulative exclusion probability and LOD score. Our research provides an alternative method for parentage identification in Chinese shrimp.

Further, the tagging process is labor-intensive (Soula et al. 2007).The power and accuracy of molecular markers, especially short sequence repeats (SSRs), for individual identification and pedigree tracing have been validated in animals. Bai et al. (2010) successfully traced the pedigree of 61 blue foxes Alopex lagopus based on 15 microsatellite markers and GeneScan techno logy. Qian et al. (2010) demonstrated the accuracy of 10 microsatellite loci in estimating genetic relationships in standard triplet and single parent investigations of Wenshan cattle Bos taurus. Compared with terrestrial species, most aquatic animals are fecund. The filial origin of the larvae is not easy to trace using a physical tag, and thus it is difficult to meet the requirements of breeding programs or marker-recapture assessment in hatchery release . Parentage identification based on molecular markers is a promising approach. In aquatic animals, SSR markers have also been widely used in genetic diversity studies, individual or family tracing, and linkage mapping (Hulak et al. 2010, Rua...
