Seeing that this animal depends on electroreception to survive it was probably a monumental mistake to RF tag the last of its kind.. >In 2003, Wei and colleagues attached a tracking tag to a Chinese paddlefish that was accidentally captured near Yibin, in south-central China. They released it to see where it might go, but within hours lost all signals from the tag. That was the last of the species ever seen alive.
