Dr. Davis PIT tags a Chinese giant salamander

In order to permanently identify adult Chinese giant salamanders (Andrias davidianus) at the Ningshan Andrias breeding farm in China, Dr. Jon Davis injects a Passive Integrative Transponder (PIT) tag into the tail of a large adult salamander. Each PIT tag has a unique identification number that can be read with a hand-held scanning device to accurately identify individuals in a group. This is the same technology your vet may use to identify your pet in case it gets lost.

PIT Tagging A Rattlesnake

Dr. John Cossel of Northwest Nazarene University and Kristina Parker from Boise State University demonstrate how to insert a passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag into a rattlesnake. These tags allow researchers to track movements of individual reptiles to provide information about population sizes and home ranges. This training was part of a Snake Safety and Handling course offered to researchers at the Orchard Combat Training Center, Idaho, in May 2018.

Lake Sturgeon Restoration Effort

These lake sturgeon were raised from eggs taken on the New York Power Authority property at the Moses-Saunders Power Project at Massena, NY, and raised at DEC’s Oneida Hatchery in Constantia. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Geological Survey were also involved in the egg take. Some of the eggs were taken to the Genoa National Fish Hatchery in Genoa, WI, where they were hatched, and the young sturgeon reared there are now returning to New York waters.

Some of the fish to be...

Step 5 - PIT tagging a Massasauga (no audio)

Watch as team members Eric and Mike implant a wild-caught Massasauga with a PIT (Passive Integrated Transponder) tag. This quick and relatively painless procedure will allow the snake to be identified for years to come.

PIT Tagging of tilapia fingerlings

A Passive Integrated Transponders “PIT” tag is biologically inert small glass-encapsulated electronic microchip with a standard length that ranges between 10 and 14 millimeters and about 2 millimeters in diameter. Because the PIT is inert and has no internal battery, it remains dormant until its circuitry is activated by a close-range, electromagnetic field generated by the reader (scanner) where the unique alphanumeric code is received from the tag and displayed on the scanner. The PIT is...

Hauling in a Sturgeon for Weighing and Tagging

Service haul in a hooked sturgeon in the St. Marys River. As of the end of July, over 200 set lines were deployed and lifted, yielding more than 55 lake sturgeon. Sturgeon caught for the first time have an external "Floy" cinch tag secured to the dorsal fin, along with an internal PIT (passive integrated transponder) tag. Captured sturgeon are measured for total length, fork length, girth, and weight. For more than five years, Lake Superior State University has been collecting data on lake...

Mini-Rover Stresses Penguins But Not As Much As Humans | Video

To keep wild King Penguins from stressing out, researchers piloted a rover to collect data from Passive Integrated Transponders tags (PIT-tags). When the rover moved, the penguins’ heart rate rose and their behaviors changed, but when it stopped moving, they went about the day normally. The stress levels were still lower than when human approached them.
