“…In my study, I tracked the movement and distribution patterns of Everglades fishes in response to seasonal variations in water level. The timing, direction, rate of change in water levels, and availability of invertebrate prey may all influence which habitats fish prefer and how actively they move between them (Rehage et al 2014, Albanese et al 2004, Davey & Kelly 2007. In accordance with my predictions, fish were strongly responsive to shifts in timing and direction of hydrologic conditions.…”

“…Because the survey method requires fish to be trapped (or reared) and tagged before field studies are undertaken, the investment of time and effort will probably restrict this method to situations where a high concentration of tagged individuals can be achieved or if a tagging programme is already in place. A high concentration of tagged individuals can be achieved for species that only show limited dispersal or migratory behaviour either by nature or if they are released into an enclosure as suggested by Rehage et al ().…”

A radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna system, build into a sledge that can be towed behind a vessel like a trawl and thereby has the potential to detect the position of a passive inductor technology (PIT)-tagged fish in a wide variety of habitats, is presented. By scanning for hatchery-reared PIT-tagged turbot Psetta maxima released into a natural habitat, the performance of the system was compared to a standard juvenile trawl and results suggested that the efficiency of the sledge was five times that of the trawl, which in absolute values corresponds to 75% of P. maxima lying in the pathway of the sledge.

“…The use of PIT tags can be advantageous over active transmitters (e.g., radio and acoustic telemetry) as they are small, cost effective, and require no battery, which allows them to have an unlimited lifespan (Bond et al 2007). Continued improvements in PIT system design, and particularly in the development of automated systems, has increased the utility of PIT tags as the movement patterns of fish can now be monitored with increased spatial and temporal resolution, across broader scales, and with increased efficacy (Armstrong et al 1996;Zydlewski et al 2001;Bond et al 2007;Johnson et al 2009;Barbour et al 2011;Rehage et al 2014).…”

Globally, many freshwater fishes are declining in distribution and abundance, but for many species conservation measures are hindered by a limited knowledge of their ecology. Recent development of 12‐mm half‐duplex (HDX) passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags has broadened the potential application of this technology for studying habitat selection and migration of freshwater fishes. However, the limited read range of the smaller 12‐mm PIT tags can limit their functionality in ecological studies. The present study used four migratory fish species to test the efficacy of different PIT antenna designs for detecting 12‐mm HDX tags in small‐ and medium‐sized rivers. Three types of pass‐through antennae were created and coupled to either a single reader or multiplexor board. Across single‐reader and multiplexor systems, the detection efficiencies for Giant Kokopu Galaxias argenteus, Shortfin Eel Anguilla australis, and New Zealand Longfin Eel Anguilla dieffenbachii ranged between 87% and 97%. Adult Pouched Lamprey Geotria australis also had a high detection rate of 74%, even though several other migration routes existed that were unmonitored. Overall, the present study shows that with appropriate antenna design, the 12‐mm HDX PIT tag can be effective for monitoring a variety of fish species. Although the antennae in the present study had a maximum width of 6.1 m, the spaced double‐coil antenna design may increase efficacy of the 12‐mm tag in larger rivers.
