When you tag coral that came from a logbook (eFisher) harvest record, you select the record and species to link the specimen to the recorded harvest. This guide walks the full flow from start to Register coral.

On the Home screen, tap the Tag Coral tile to open the Select harvest record screen.

On the Select harvest record screen you see a Search by harvest record field and a list of record cards. Each card shows the date (such as 'Today' or '21 Nov 2025'), a location with a pin icon (such as 'North QLD'), and a tagged/total count (such as '10/115'). Tap the record you want.

The Select species screen opens with a Search species from logbook field. Each species shows its name (such as 'Acropora spp'), a tagged/total count (such as '0/10 Tagged'), a progress bar and a forward arrow. Tap the species you want to tag.

After choosing a species you can optionally select a coral variety from the list (for example, 'Staghorn Coral - A Grade - Med'). The header updates to show the selected variety. You then continue to the tag attachment method and notes.

Choose how the tag is attached in the Tag attachment method section:

To add a note, scroll to the Notes section, tap Add notes, and type your note (for example, 'Specimen collected from shallow reef flat, good colour'). Tap Next: Scan coral to continue.

On the scanning screen, scan one or more specimens with RFID, Camera / QR or Manual Entry; each tag appears in the Scanned items list. To remove a tag you scanned by mistake, tap Edit on the Scanned items header (a trash icon appears on each row), then tap Save.

After scanning, you can add a weight and photo to each scanned specimen from the scanning screen. A green camera icon shows which specimens already have a photo.

When you have scanned every specimen, tap Register coral. The app saves every specimen and shows the Batch registered! screen, confirming how many you added. From there you can pick another species to keep tagging, or tap Home to finish.

Each tagged specimen is saved with a unique identifier (UID) matching the tag ID, the Fisher (your participant organisation), the harvest Location from the logbook record, the Species, the Variety (if you selected one), and a generation value the system sets automatically (for example, 'Wild' or 'W'). You can view the specimen on the web app in the Product List.

If an action cannot be completed, the Australian Wildlife Traceability System (AWTS) mobile app shows a short message. Here is what the messages you are most likely to see when tagging mean, and what to do.
