- Tip: the Replace command will import tag codes much faster than the Import command. Use the Import command only when appending a relatively small number of tag codes (less than 25k) to a tag action.
- Tip: the Delete All and Replace commands will generate a lot of empty space in the P3 database. We recommend running the Compact and Repair utility after running any of these commands to optimize the database.

Data Collection and Validation
41
Species Run and
Rear
[Valid Species Run and
Rearing-Type code(s)]
Mandatory
This field (or fields) will be displayed one of two ways based upon the verbose
profile setting:
Character Codes
In this format, the user must select individual codes for each field, using the
mouse, keyboard or a digitizer command. Refer to the current PIT Tag
Specification Document for more information about these validation codes.
Verbose
In this format, the user can select one verbose species run and rearing-type
string from the field's drop-down list. The verbose string is translated into
the appropriate codes when the tag session is exported
to a Tag File for
submission to PTAGIS.
Length
nnnnn Optional
This field holds a length measurement of a fish (in millimeters). The value
may be entered from the keyboard or from a properly-configured
digitizer
tablet.
