title: Evaluation of a non-invasive tagging system for laboratory studies using three-spined sticklebacks Gasterosteus aculeatus.
abstract: A non-invasive tagging system for individual identification of three-spined sticklebacks Gasterosteus aculeatus was evaluated. The tags were easily detected via video, and tagged and non-tagged fish did not differ in terms of growth, activity levels or shoaling behaviour.
