Could Mexico Use this fish tagging system?
My nephew works for this company, they tag and monitor fish all over the world. This video shows the California operation where thousands of fish are
taged.

That is fish torture AND MUTILATION. Is there any evidence that the fish without the fin mate less than others because they are considered ugly? I
think the Mexican method could be to involve the chollos. Give them special taggers with the gang's name on it, give guns as prizes for most fish
tagged and you've got a winner.

There is an old tatoo gun available on E-Bay, maybe we can get creative.

High Tech?  These guys are just re-inventing the wheel. It's
one of those round things that keeps on rolling.

Rick, just funnin but the system looks efficient -- problem down here would be collection and count. They just don't have the funds for anything but
the most rudementary scientific studies at sea. Land based marine studies in my area are well planned and executed; just not enough of them.

I would also suspect that is would be difficult to tag the fish that spawn in the sea, salmon of course spawn in rivers, making this an easier task.
How do they do the land based studies down there?
Many of us had our fin clipped in our youth and the jury is still out on the affect, some say it looks better!

This is a hatchery based system and I cannot see how it could be adapted to an ocean fishery.
Perhaps a better system is the use of pop-up tags read by satellites, but they are expensive and provide fewer data points.
But (one of) the biggest obstacles to collecting data on fisheries in Mexico is the lack of will power to do so. Certain stakeholders won't like what
the data tells them.

Synergy happens! What if we could bring down some Moils interested in blessing God's dwindling stock of mating fish, involve them in the process, send
them home with Gold Embossed Certificates of Marine and Eco/Religious recogition of authenticity, Mexico's thanks, a new start for fertile, robust
fry.

Good one! They changed it! This also could be used, I am certain of it, particularly in the reserve zones!
