No. I asked about that too, but the people I work with explained that not only is putting a tracker on each individual incredibly expensive, it is also somewhat invasive because you need to get close enough to attach it. Instead, they are tracked through sightings and pictures.

Wailmer and Wailord live in pods. Pods that are tracked are given an identifier and each individual in the pod a number and occasionally a nickname. Researchers take pictures and match those to known individuals to keep track of their behaviour and populations. Using an app like this, even ordinary people can join in by uploading the pictures they have taken of Wailmer and Wailords or helping to identify submitted ones. That's why I like taking these tours. It gives me a chance to contribute a bit too.
