The invention relates to an identification chip for insertion in an object
located in a liquid. The identification chip comprises an acoustic
resonator (100), which exhibits a number of distinct resonant
frequencies, where the combination of resonant frequencies is unique to
the identification chip. This enables the identification chip to be
identified by exposing it to an acoustic polling signal, measuring an
acoustic response signal and analysing the frequency of the response
signal. The resonator (100) comprises a cavity-forming part (110, 120)
and a membrane (130). The acoustic resonant frequencies are determined by
at least one cavity (140), which is enclosed by the cavity-forming part
(110, 120) and the membrane (140). The identification chip can be
implanted in a fish, with the object of identifying the fish when it is
located in water.
