_____________________________ Forward Header __________________________________ Subject: Re: Lamprey tags Author: Cheryl Kaye at 3ms-mar Date: 1/20/98 3:41 PM At our lamprey sterilization facility we tag lamprey which we then release into streams. These tags are used to identify lamprey on spawning nests. Our tagging schemes include V-notching the dorsal fins, completely slicing the front dorsal off and inserting colored dennison tags under the front dorsal fin. Sometimes the three methods of identification are used at once. we have found that they are very hardy and spawn with these different forms of identification.

One week duration of the tag should be enough, but visual identification of tagged lampreys ought to be possible to avoid recapture. May you help me?.
