Jan-Michael Hessenauer uses a UV flashlight to see a visual implant elastomer tag. This was one of two methods that were sued to confirm the population of origin of the fish under study. Each fish was elastomer tagged the fall prior to being released into the pens. Tags are a soft liquid that is injected in gel form under the fish's skin, like a tatoo. Fish were also fin clipped - a different fin for each population. The clips grow back quickly but leave a recognizble scar. When researchers saw both the correct color and the correct fin clip, they were certain where the fish had come from. (Jason Vokoun/UConn Photo)
