Does the level of asepsis impact the success of surgically implanting tags in Atlantic salmon?
Abstract
It is generally recommended that a high level of asepsis be maintained during surgical implantation of electronic tags into fish. However, documentation of a positive effect of asepsis in fish surgery is lacking. To compare the effects of surgical implantation performed under different sanitary conditions, 100 hatchery salmon smolts (Salmo salar) were surgically implanted with tags with and without trailing antenna and were kept in a hatchery …
