The detection range of passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags potentially suitable for use in a tagging programme for estimating the abundance of snapper (Pagrus auratus) was systematically evaluated.

A range of tags was evaluated using a single reader and two different antennas. The reader and antennas were commercial products designed for fish tagging applications.
