Trovan is the world’s leading supplier of PIT tagging systems to the aquaculture industry with exceptional read range, read speed and biocompatibility. The result is greatly improved ease of reading and specimen handling, while ensuring the longevity and productivity of the specimens themselves. Millions of salmon, tilapia, trout, sea bass and sea bream have been identified using Trovan transponders.
Now ,launched at this year’s Aquaculture America 2026, it’s the turn of the humble shrimp to be tagged and Barbara Masin of Trovan gave Roger Gilbert of International aquafeed and Fish Farming Technology a glimpse of what’s involved. As you imagine the tags are extremely small and fit snuggly to the shrimp. This tagging solution for shrimp allows not only tracking of individuals but also helps identify underperforming animals that can be removed in a timely manner.
