First, hatchery workers anesthetize the fish … They then clip the adipose fin and hand a container of clipped fish to the tagger, who operates a tagging machine that injects a tiny coded wire into the cartilage of the fish's snout. … The tags are so tiny that they have to be examined under a microscope to see their etching. 3, record 1, English, - fish%20tagging%20machine

Traditionally, an adipose fin clip was used to externally mark salmon and steelhead tagged with a coded wire tag so that these fish were readily identifiable upon adult recapture … More recently, the use of the adipose fin clip has been expanded to allow for selective fisheries, where marked fish, typically of hatchery origin, are selectively harvested while unmarked fish are released … 5, record 2, English, - adipose%2Dfin%20clipping

A small length of magnetized steel wire, etched with a binary code and injected into the nasal cartilage of salmonides or the muscle tissue of crustaceans. 2, record 3, English, - coded%20wire
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Juvenile salmonids have been tagged with coded wires in northwestern North America for about 20 years... By this method, a 1-mm length of wire is given a binary code and inserted with an injector into the nasal region of a young fish. The adipose fin is removed and the tagged fish are then released for their seaward migrations. The returning adults are identified by the missing adipose fin. Their snouts are then removed and passed through a magnetometer to locate the wire, which is removed and decoded. A dissection microscope is used to decode the binary notching on the wire. 3, record 3, English, - coded%20wire
