Radiofrequency identification technology and sea turtles

Published by Southeast Fisheries Science Center | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-02-29T00:00:00.000+00:00
This study investigated the compatibility of various PIT tag scanner technologies and available PIT tag frequencies, as well as testing the read depth potential of Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags and scanners with different frequency/manufacturer combinations. Unit variability between individual units was also investigated. This information will benefit tagging studies for sea turtle monitoring and life history research by maximizing the likelihood that previously marked turtles would be identified during future encounters.
