The current status of techniques and developments relating to the long-term identification of salmonid fish is reviewed and described. The literature that may relate to future techniques is discussed. Techniques include coded wire tags, passive integrated responders, branding, tetracycline, fluorescent pigments, dyes and microtaggants, meristics and morphometrics, electrophoresis and serological techniques, genetic tagging, and parasites.
