About this product

The Trovan ID100 Nano is the smallest implantable PIT tag we supply — just 8mm long and 1.25mm in diameter (weighing only 0.06g). It's the size of choice for very small aquaculture stock and juvenile fish where even the Midi-Chip (8mm × 1.4mm) is too large.

Ideal for

  • Very small juvenile fish and fingerlings — small native freshwater species, barramundi and trout fingerlings, larval-stage research
  • Small crustaceans — juvenile abalone, smaller prawn and yabby species, marron juveniles
  • Pearl farming — small juvenile oysters where conventional chips can't be used
  • Fisheries research on small or juvenile species — mark-recapture studies in delicate life stages
  • Hatchery research on early life stages — tracking individuals from larval/juvenile through to grow-out
  • Aquaculture R&D where the smallest possible chip minimises stress on small stock

Why Trovan FDX-A for aquaculture

The Trovan Unique ID100 (FDX-A) protocol is the most widely-used implantable RFID system in Australian aquaculture and fisheries research. FDX-A tags work with the full range of Trovan reading systems — handheld scanners, swim-through tunnel antennas, frame-type readers (e.g. AquaPocket), and submersible creek-bed receivers — whereas ISO FDX-B tags often can't be read reliably (or at all) by these systems.

Note: Trovan FDX-A microchips are NOT suitable for companion dogs, cats or horses in Australia — Australian legislation requires ISO FDX-B for companion animals. For broodstock, hatchery and research animals, FDX-A remains the industry standard.

Format and supply

Each microchip is pre-loaded into an individual single-use sterile needle. Implantation requires the dedicated Trovan Pistol Implanter (re-usable, sold separately) — designed specifically for the Nano needle. Each 10-pack includes 6 adhesive labels per chip.
