12mm Standard FDX-B PIT Tag for Salmon and Wildlife Monitoring

The industry-standard 12mm x 2.12mm FDX-B PIT tag, fully ICAR approved and optimized for high-performance reading in fish bypass systems and river arrays. Engineered for robust, long-term identification in demanding aquatic environments, this transponder is a cornerstone for fisheries telemetry and environmental monitoring projects.

Reliable FDX-B Transponders for Aquatic Biotelemetry

As an experienced pit tag manufacturer, we provide the core technology for critical fish passage monitoring and ecological studies. Our 12mm PIT tag is designed to meet the rigorous demands of large-scale aquatic biotelemetry. Adhering strictly to ISO 11784/11785 FDX-B protocols at 134.2 kHz, these glass transponders ensure seamless integration with existing instream antenna systems, portable field readers, and fixed detection arrays, including those requiring Biomark compatible PIT tag functionality. We leverage advanced chip types such as EM4305, SIC7999, and HITAG S256 to deliver consistent read performance and secure data integrity for every unique animal identification.

Engineered for Long-Term Field Performance and Retention

The durability and reliability of an implanted transponder are paramount for successful, long-duration wildlife monitoring. Our 12mm PIT tags feature a hermetically sealed, biocompatible glass shell (2.12 mm x 12 mm) specifically designed for safe and long-term implantation. Crucially, each transponder is enhanced with a medical-grade Parylene anti-migration coating. This specialized layer significantly improves tissue retention, minimizing the risk of tag expulsion or movement post-implantation – a critical factor for accurate data collection in species like salmon and trout.

With an IP68 waterproof rating, these transponders are built for continuous, long-term underwater immersion, maintaining stable read ranges even in turbulent river systems and challenging hydrological conditions. This robust construction ensures that vital data on fish movement and survival is captured reliably, supporting comprehensive environmental engineering and conservation efforts.

Deployment in Fisheries & Hydropower Environmental Assessment

Our FDX-B PIT tags are the preferred choice for fisheries biologists and environmental consultants involved in large-scale fish passage evaluation. From adult fish telemetry in the Columbia River basin to comprehensive hatchery management programs, these transponders facilitate precise individual identification. They are routinely deployed in:

• Salmon and Trout Monitoring: Tracking migration patterns through fish ladders and bypass systems.

• Hydropower Environmental Monitoring: Assessing the impact of dams on aquatic species movement and survival.

• Hatchery Management: Individual identification for growth rates, release-recapture studies, and stock assessment.

• Wildlife Conservation Projects: Offering a robust solution for diverse aquatic and terrestrial species requiring long-term, passive identification.
