A Blubber or Dorsal Fin Piercing Tag Attachment System for Remotely-Deployed Cetacean Tags
SBC: American Benchmark Machine Works Topic: 824Animal-borne electronic instruments (tags) are critical tools for monitoring the behavior and ecology of cetaceans, providing data needed for managing their populations and mitigating the threats they face. Although remote-deployment of tags onto cetaceans that cannot be captured has provided valuable data, attachment durations have been frustratingly short and variable. Our Phase II goal is to de ...
