First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for attaching a radio frequency (RF) transmitter to a fish, the method comprising: providing an RF transmitter having a cylindrical body housing RF signal generator components, a cylindrical battery within the body and operatively coupled to the RF signal generator components, and an antenna extending from the cylindrical body, the battery is associated with a nose of the body and the antenna extending from a tail of the body; providing an injection device having a needle gauge of 9 or smaller; providing the RF transmitter into the injection device; and providing the RF transmitter through the 9 gauge or smaller needle and into the fish, wherein the body is provided nose first into the fish. 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising tracking the fish using an RF signal generated by the RF transmitter. 3. The method of claim 1 further comprising providing a signal from the RF transmitter for at least 24 days. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the fish is a salmon.
