Evaluation of tagging of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus for stock enhancement

The suitable tag was investigated based on the cumulative mortality, blood chemistry and histopathology of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. The dissection of opercle, 50% dissection of pelvic fin and 100% dissection of pelvic fin was used in the experiment. Cumulative mortality of dissection of opercle group was high. The dissection of opercle and 100% pelvic fin dissection groups was showing histological changes after 13days of tagging: purulent inflammation in the liver, fibrous inflammation in the body kidney, hyperplastic ellipsoide capillary in the spleen. As the results, 50% pelvic fin cutting group is the most effective out of them.
