Sonic or radio transmitters weighing less than 2% of the fish body weight may be implanted in free‐ranging fish and because of the absence of antenna, a small celiotomy is used (Harms and Wildgoose 2001). More recently, injectable sonic transmitters that do not require surgical implantation have become available (Deng et al. 2015). Radiotelemetry transmitters are implanted with a similar technique as in other vertebrates (Wargo Rub et al. 2014). The antenna should exit through another incision rather than the incision used for insertion. It can be threaded through a cannula placed through the lateral body wall. To position the transmitter away from the surgical incision and avoid pressure on the coelomic organs, suture the transmitter to the pectoral girdle (Snelderwaard et al. 2006).
