Survival of pond and raceway fish in this experimental group was significantly (P < 0.05; day 195 raceway: X2=7.68; day 195 pond: X2=8.53; day 343 raceway: X2=6.65, X205, df=1, 5.02) less than fish in the control group in three of six instances at the three observation periods (Appendix; Table 10). PIT Tag: o~dy Cavity. The performance of PIT tags implanted in this anatomical location was similar to those reported in this study for squawfish and razorback sucker. Though survival was greater for fish held in the raceway than the pond throughout the evaluation period, survival of pond and raceway fish was not significantly (P > 0.05) different from each respective control group. For surviving fish, tag verification at each observation period was 100% (Appendix; Table 10)(Figure 5). At day 511, tag verification of surviving pond bonytail tagged in the body cavity was significantly greater than fish PIT tagged in the dorsal musculature (X2=1$.04, X205, df=1, 5.02). Tag verification was not significantly different (P > 0.05) for raceway fish PIT tagged in the dorsal musculature and body cavity (Appendix; Table 10). V. I. T~ca Tag verification throughout the study was greater than for the other two species tested. Tag verification was 56% and 53% for pond and raceway fish, respectively, on day 195 (Appendix; Table 10). Tag verification remained static for fish held in the raceway during the study (41% at day 343 and 44% at day 511); no tags were verified for pond fish at day 343 and day 511 (Appendix; Table 10)(Figure 5). Survival of experimental fish both in the pond and raceway was greater than the control groups. As for the other two species, additional testing on larger fish (e. g., 150 mm minimum) is recommended before this tag can be a considered as a reliable identification marker for bonytail. Carlin Dangler Tag. Tag verification was low for both pond and raceway fish. At day 343, tags were verified on only 1 of 4 pond fish; no tags were 20
