  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We evaluated subdermal injection of a fluorescent elastomer for marking bluegills&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lepomis macrochirus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;in laboratory and pond studies. Marking did not affect the growth or survival of adult or juvenile bluegills. Marks were visible for at least 6 months. This technique is a reliable, relatively inexpensive marking method for the identification of individual fish in experimental studies. Costs of application range from US$0.01 to $0.03 per mark.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
