Aquaculture and Ornamental Fish

High value fish are identified by implanted transponder rather than by anything attached outside, and the reader has to work through water and glass. Raybaca builds a dedicated reader for that job.

The Problems on This Kind of Operation

  • A valuable fish cannot carry an external tag
  • Ownership and provenance of ornamental fish are disputed without a code
  • Standard livestock scanners are not shaped for reading through a tank
  • Breeding records for broodstock depend on identifying the individual fish

What Buyers Need

  • An implantable transponder suitable for fish
  • A reader shaped and specified for reading fish transponders
  • A code that proves provenance at sale or export
  • Records that follow an individual fish through a breeding programme

Typical Application Scenarios

How a Deployment Runs

The order of these steps matters more than the hardware. Getting the frequency and the numbering settled first is what stops a project being redone.

Implant

A transponder is implanted using a pre-loaded syringe.

Register

The code is recorded against the individual fish and its provenance.

Verify

The dedicated reader confirms identity at sale, export or inspection.

Questions From Aquaculture and Ornamental Fish

Why is there a dedicated fish reader

Reading a transponder in a fish means getting the antenna close through water and glass, so the RBC-TN009B is built for that geometry rather than for an ear.

Which transponder is used for fish

An implantable low frequency microchip supplied in a pre-loaded syringe, the same family used for pets.
