Chips4Fish
Operations

Chips4Fish is an integral part or The Pet Chip Company. We work closely together providing training for implanters and we supply all the necessary tools, stock and back-up, including veterinary consultation and advice if and when required.

Chips4Fish works throughout the UK and can provide advice on microchipping fish stock at very short notice.

Implant Training
We are pleased to offer microchip implanter training for fish-keepers. The course lasts about two hours and gives hands-on training in handling and implanting transponders (microchips) in fish. We try to hold courses locally but this depends very much on available waters and fish. We aim to keep course sizes to no more than 6 and all participants get to chip several.
The training is inexpensive and after successful completion of the course enables you to implant your own fish and possibly to sell your skill to neighboring fisheries.

Please note: Unless you're trained in implanting techniques for fish we will not supply microchips or microchip implant equipment.

With ever increasing reports of fish being stolen Chips4Fish can now report a newfound interest from fisheries and fish farms alike in microchipping stock at source or on delivery. We are pleased to be able to supply a list of fish farms who will microchip your new stock before or on delivery.

For leisure fisheries Chips4Fish are always keen to come and train a bailiff, or interested volunteer, in the techniques of microchip implantation in fish so that fishery owners can control budgets and chip their stock over a reasonable period.

Adding our inexpensive lakeside signs will help deter thieves. The signs come in three sizes, are high visibility and are guaranteed for three years against weathering.

Current projects include the microchipping of a new fishery in Cheshire where we chipped nearly 100 prime carp and we have also supplied Moulicent Lake in Normandie, France who have chosen to use Chips4Tack microchips and scanners to ID mark all their fish for good stock management and record keeping.

The fish will be caught when the lake is drained in early January 2010, measured and weighed then microchipped. Anglers visiting the lake will have a scanner in their cabin and will be asked to scan and weigh any fish caught giving the owner daily reports on how his fish are performing and accurate current weights of all fish caught.
