the tagging is done to monitor populations of ray, the undulate especially is a very localized species in Ireland mostly only found in Tralee bay. The tag is small and very light and bears a serial number. Info gathered this way can be used to monitor growth, fish movements etc. I hope that helps thanks for asking mate.

And thanks lads for all the input :lol:
