Handling and Tagging Techniques for Implanting Juvenile American Shad with a New Acoustic Micro-Transmitter

Abstract

This article provides a detailed procedure for optimal handling practices and implanting an acoustic micro-transmitter into juvenile American shad. The results of our laboratory study suggest that these tagging techniques could be implemented in field studies of juvenile American shad with high probability of survival.
