Effects of surgical implantation of electronic tags in fishes: a review and meta-analysis - Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries Electronic tags have been used to track fishes for decades and continue to gain popularity. Tags are often implanted in the coelom of fishes, with a substantial body of experimental evidence now asses...

This new paper was a team effort among students in my lab, led by @mitchellshorgan.bsky.social. Please share with your fish tracking colleagues!

What are the effects of tagging on fishes? 🐟

Our review + meta-analysis explores intracoelomic tagging effects in fishes. We summarize the existing literature and examine the 2% rule using evidence from a broad representation of all published studies.
