tags), plastic headed dart tags, umbrella 

dart tags, Passive Integrated 

Transponder (PIT) tags, acoustic tags 

(transmitters), Pop-Up Archival 

transmitting (PAT) tags, and Smart 

Position Only Transmitting (SPOT) tags. 

Sampling also includes a small genetic 

tissue fin clip and blood sample. 

Finally, dead sawfish acquired through 

strandings or from law enforcement 

confiscations are also measured and 

sampled for scientific purposes. 

To increase tag retention and provide 

less invasive tagging techniques, the 

applicant is now requesting to replace 

plastic rototags, used to secure VEMCO 

acoustic transmitters, with neoprene 

clasp tags; and nylon umbrella darts, 

used to secure PAT tags, with dorsal fin 

harnesses. SPOT tags would also be 

excluded as a tagging method. Better 

data collection could provide increased 

insight into habitat usage pattern and 

accomplish actions items identified in 

the recovery plan for the species.
