Stainless Steel Dart Tags

SSD Tag Overview

Stainless steel head dart tags (type SSD) are for marking large fish such as billfish and especially sharks which can not be easily brought aboard. The tag head is specially ground and sharpened to anchor smoothly in firm tissue or muscle.

Specifications

Insert Text/Image Here. All metal used in the dart head and wire is 316S marine grade surgical steel. SSD tags are made with the stainless steel wire covering the inside of the first 5 cm of the marker. Some researchers prefer to have a stainless steel wire core along the length of the tag if there is a high likelihood of the tags being bitten by other sharks or predatory fish. These tags have superior legibility and integrity to our competitor’s products.
