Abstract: Visible implant elastomer（VIE）tag was used to tag Takifugu rubripes body weight（13.58±1.19）g, body length（7.15±#br#0.61）cm from 13, July of 2012 to 1, October of 2012. The part of tag was the top half of left caudal peduncle in the group Ⅰ, and it was the lower half in the group Ⅱ.The survival rate and growth were no significant differences in all groups between 30 days to 80 days（P>0.05）. The tag retention rates were 100% in the tagging groups, they fell later, and it was higher under the shine of ultraviolet than perusal. The tag retention rates of tagging groups were more than 93% in the 80 days, so VIE was a suitable tagging method for Takifugu rubripes.
