摘要

The use of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in fisheries management offers promising applications for gear traceability. This study evaluated the durability and operational applicability of ultra-high frequency RFID tags for three types of fishing gears: bottom trawl nets, trammel nets, and pearl aquaculture cages. Field tests were conducted to evaluate tag readability, attachment stability, and resistance to environmental and mechanical stress. In commercial bottom trawl fisheries, five tags were attached to various parts of the net and conducted over 201 hauls across 66 fishing days at 30–60 m depth, demonstrating reliable performance. Similarly, in pearl aquaculture, tags were attached to 13 cages and retrieved at various intervals. The tags remained functional after being submerged for up to 330 days. However, the application of tags in trammel net fishery remains challenging and requires further research to improve gear marking methods for this fishery. These findings support the use of RFID technology in various fisheries and highlight the importance of developing the broader applicability of RFID systems in fisheries for better sustainable fisheries management measures.
