Developing and evaluating these strains is easier if different families can be tagged, then reared together under identical conditions. Tagging crustaceans is complicated by an exoskeleton which can be shed up to 30 times as the animal grows to a marketable size. NMT’s Visible Implant Elastomer (VIE) is injected as a liquid under clear or translucent tissue, and it cures to a pliable solid that remains externally visible. The tags are available in 10 colors, of which six fluoresce for enhanced detection. VIE can be injected into the abdominal muscles of shrimp as small as 0.2 g with little effect on growth or survival1. High tag retention through molts and maturation mean that the animals can be identified for life. By varying tag locations and colors, VIE provides the many unique codes required to identify test groups. Researchers around the world rely on VIE to evaluate the performance of various strains of shrimp2,3, but it is not limited to crustaceans. VIE is also widely used to tag fish, rays, cephalopods, amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals.
