Abstract of the Disclosure In a method for tagging members of a large group of macro-organisms so that each macro-organism is assigned to a respective subgroup, successive segments of wire are cut from a continuous length of wire indelibly marked along the length thereof with a sequence of separate and distinct identification codes each including a respective multidigit numeral with individual digits disposed in a linear array extending in a longitudinal direction along the length of the wire. Each multidigit numeral is flanked on opposite sides in the longitudinal direction by other multidigit numerals of the sequence of identification codes and has exactly one digit differing in value from a corresponding digit of a multidigit numeral on one side and exactly one digit differing in value from a corresponding digit of another multidigit numeral on another side. During implantation, a tag is ejected and stored to define the beginning of a set of successive tags corresponding to a subgroup of macro-organisms. The tags of that subgroup are then severed from the length of wire and implanted into respective members of the particular subgroup. Subsequently, another tag is severed from the wire and stored to mark the end of the subgroup. Upon capture of a member of a subgroup, the tag is excised, the respective multidigit code is read and compared with the multidigit codes of the stored tags to determine to which subgroup the captured macro- organism belongs.
