Looks like the Civil Justice system is the next resort:

Albert the Alligator's owner gives up the fight.

Upstate NY man ends legal battle with the state for his ‘emotional support’ pet alligator

An expired license and safety violations were deemed the reason for the seizure.

There's just something about claiming that an alligator is an emotional support animal that speaks to somebody needing other kinds of support.

But either way, I guess the DEC's unlimited funding (our taxes) finally broke this guy.

Radio tags let scientists monitor muskies in the Missisquoi - VTDigger

Following a population dip in the 1960s and 1970s, the muskellunge were seemingly wiped out after an untreated waste spill.

For all the reasons Roccus pointed out radio tags are not feasible. Fish tagging programs provide invaluable information for marine biologists, NOAA, and other scientists.

Plastic tags work great.

I have had caught several Bass over the years with tags. I couldn’t count how many sharks I have tagged but know it’s in the 4 figure numbers. And, have caught plenty of sharks with tags, removed them, and retagged. And I have had many of my tags recaptured some thousands of miles away. Many from the Azores. I have also been involved with Marine Biologist’s at NY Aquarium in a Mako tagging program where satellite tracking implants, and blood samples, and all associated measurements of the fish was the goal. Not an easy thing to do. Have also tagged BFT but have never had any tags returned nor captured one with a tag.
