Abstract
Visible implant fluorescent elastomer (VIFE) tags were implanted benea th the epidermal layer within the abdomen of 25 juvenile lobsters. Aft er three molts the tag retention was 100% and the total survival 92%. The results suggest that VIFE tags could be an effective tool when ass essing the feasibility of enhancing natural lobster stocks.
