Biotelemetry is an increasingly popular and effective tool to study fish movements. Interpretation of the results relies on the assumption that fish behaviour and physiology is not affected by the presence of the tag. Although the long-term effects of tagging should be evaluated before field telemetry studies, this has rarely been quantified. As a precursor to a long-term telemetry study on Argyrosomus japonicus (Termminck and Schlegel 1843) in South Africa, the effects of surgical implantation of two different-sized tags were assessed in a 256-day experiment. We hypothesised that the larger 13-mm-diameter tags, which exceeded the general 2% tag-to-body mass rule, would have adverse effects on growth, survival and tag retention compared with the smaller 9-mm-diameter tags and an untagged control group. Because no adverse effects in growth were observed among the three groups, nor any long-term tag-related mortality, tag expulsion or internal damage, we suggest that the general 2% tag-to-body mass rule should be regarded only as a broad guide. Further, we conclude that juvenile A. japonicus individuals are well suited for surgical implantation of commercially available 9- and 13-mm-diameter tags and are good candidates for long-term telemetry studies.

A meat pigeon production management information system was developed. The system can carry through precision management for meat pigeon, which adopts RFID, computers and other IT technologies. Pigeon production management information system include two parts: breeding information collection handheld terminals and pigeon management information software system. The breeding information collection handheld terminal can collect production information of breeder pigeon. Breeding information collection terminals include electronic tag reader module, database storage module and human-machine interaction module. The pigeon management information software system can storage and statistics the data that collected by information collection terminal and can also generate standard breeder production record report for workers.
