Pit Tag Register

Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags are used by bat biologists and wildlife carers to identify individual animals. Unlike bat bands, there is no formal repository for pit-tags. 

The ABS pit tag register aims to provide a way for someone to search for a foreign pit tag record they come across so they can get in contact with the person who tagged the bat. Submission of data to the register is voluntary and the minimum level of detail required for each pit-tag record is:

1. Pit tag prefix.
2. Pit tag number.
3. Bat species name.
4. Contact name.
5. Contact email address.

Fields are also available to capture the sex of the bat, the date of tagging, latitude and longitude for the point of capture/release and any relevant notes. However, these fields are not mandatory.

Individual entries or a bulk import of a .csv file can be made via the ABS Member Portal. Non-ABS members wishing to upload data to the register can join the ABS and submit records as described above or by contacting the admin for the pit tag register.

The register can be downloaded publicly via this link.
