We evaluated different external marking methods for farmed salmon to differentiate it from wild salmon without any special tools. Once identified from external marks, the escaped salmon can be traced back to the original farm using molecular methods. Three marking methods were tested: 1) Adipose fin removal, 2) Freeze branding and 3) VIE. Of these methods, only complete removal of the adipose fin met the requirements for durability and readability and is also the cheapest and easiest method to automate. Adipose fin removal had no negative effect on growth/survival and is the best of the evaluated tagging method with respect to biology, technology, economics, market, and fish welfare/health. "To evaluate existing labeling methods with a view to safe identification of escaped farmed salmon. To evaluate the possibility of labeling on a large scale. To assess the costs associated with different branding methods. To assess market reactions to different branding methods. To advise on the choice of branding method.
