The movements of juvenile burbot Lota lota were monitored continuously with an overall efficiency of 92·5%. The results show that passive integrated transponder (PIT) systems (or variations of them) are highly valuable for behavioural studies of small nocturnal fish species at the laboratory or mesocosm scale.
