Method of tagging a shellfish and a detectable shellfish produced by such a method

摘要

A method of tagging shellfish (10) for the purpose of subsequent identification. The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing a detectable tag (16), and (b) fixedly engaging the detectable tag (16) with a portion of the shellfish (10) such that the detectable tag (16) becomes incorporated into the shell portion (12) as the shellfish (10) grows.
