Abstract
Methods for the use of radiotracers in aquatic environments have been established over the past five decades. The basic principles involve definition of the system or problem to be investigated, selection of a suitable tracer, design of tracer deployment and measurement systems and analysis of the data collected to address the initial problem. These aspects are covered in detail in this paper covering the current state of the art in tracer technology. New developments in the use of nano-particle tracers are also addressed. © The authors.
