Twenty-four juvenile to subadult Anegada iguanas (Cyclura pinguis), captive-reared in a propagation facility, were designated by a coordinated recovery program for release in the summer of 2003. To facilitate postrelease monitoring, a radiotransmitter device was placed within the coelomic cavity of each animal under general anesthesia before release. The equipment sterilization technique and the method of attachment of the transmitters to the coelomic body wall resulted in functional transmitters and acceptably low rates of mortality associated with the procedure.
24只在繁殖设施中人工饲养的幼年至亚成年阿内加达鬣蜥（Cyclura pinguis），被一个协调的恢复计划指定于2003年夏天放归自然。为便于放归后的监测，在放归前，于全身麻醉状态下将一个无线电发射器装置置于每只动物的体腔内。设备消毒技术以及将发射器附着于体腔腹壁的方法，产生了功能正常的发射器，且该操作导致的死亡率低至可接受水平。
