Purpose
As stated in the document
This PIT Tag Marking Procedures Manual provides protocols and standards
on the PIT tag marking station(s), fish handling techniques, anesthesia, tag
injection, and information on data collection, verification, and transfer to
the regional database. In addition to this manual, the PTSC and PTAGIS
produced a PIT tag training video that is available from PTAGIS. If you have
specific questions that are not answered by this document or the video, or if
you would like to receive training, please contact a PTSC representative for
assistance.

Special Notices
Since July 1992, only disinfected injectors and tags have been approved for
use in the Columbia River Basin for all hatchery and wild anadromous fish.
This requirement eliminated the use of semiautomatic injectors.
Disinfection using standard hand held injectors requires immersing the
needle, syringe, and the end of the injector push rod in 70-80% ethyl
alcohol or 60-80% isopropyl alcohol for a period of not less than 10
minutes. Currently, there is a single-use injector system (SUI) available to
which the disinfection requirement does not apply, as long as the needle
assembly used in this system is not re-used. If a tagger wishes to re-use the
single-use needle assembly, disinfection between fish is required.

Special Notices
The PTSC and FPAC members do not endorse or recommend any tagging
location in anadromous salmonids other than what is described in this
manual. Tagging in any location other than the abdominal cavity increases
the risk of human consumption.
