This shovelnose sturgeon is being scanned after receiving a passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag allowing biologists to scan the tag and follow sturgeon throughout its life cycle. The St. Louis District Rivers Project Office and Missouri Department of Conservation place tags in fish periodically for monitoring purposes. Each tag contains a unique code with information about the fish, like the species, age, date and location of where it was tagged.
