  abstract = {{A}rchival (data-storage) and telemetry (acoustic and radio) tags are commonly used to provide data on the behavior and physiology of organisms, as well as data on their surrounding environment. {F}or fishes, it is often advantageous to implant tags in the peritoneal cavity (i.e., intracoelomic implantation). {T}he literature on best practices is limited for marine species, and near absent for tunas despite their regular application. {W}e identify recommended practices using laparotomy in tropical tuna species following observations from thousands of tags implantations undertaken during implementation of several tagging programs across the {P}acific. {T}hese recommended practices include descriptions of preferred tagging stations and equipment, fish selection, surgical procedures, and return of the fish to the wild. {W}hile these recommended practices were developed specifically for tropical tuna species, they are also likely applicable for other pelagic fishes. {W}e present these guidelines to guide and promote the development of best practices for such procedures on pelagic species.},
