The world‘s smallest temperature and depth logging tag
Ideal for very small fish or marine animals for long term behavior and migration studies. Developed in co-operation with fish biologists.
Key features
Small and reliable archival fish tag
Long life and flexible interval setup
Depth sensors for different ranges
Fish implantation or external attachment
User defined text on the housing
High performance in small size
Dimensions are only 25.4 mm x 8.3 mm and it weighs 3.3 g in air. Despite the small size of the logger, the DST micro-TD Data Storage Tag has high reliability and long lifetime. Therefore it suitable for long term behaviour and migration studies of small fish, smolt and marine animals.
Application
The DST micro-TD is designed as an archival tag for migration, feeding and dive behavioral studies of small fish, seabirds and marine animals. The recorded time seris data enable scientists to gain valuable information on migration routes and behavioural patterns over a long period of time. The tag can be implanted or attached externally.
Long life and flexible interval setup
DST micro-TD can store 87,168 measurements in total which means it can store data for 2.5 years when using a 30 minute interval, as an example. It is possible to set the logger to record with multiple intervals, shifting between different intervals during the measuring period. Also it is possible to choose different intervals for measuring depth and temperature.
Depth sensors for different ranges, selected by the user
You can choose between depth calibration up to: 150 m, 300 m or 1000 m. The shallower the range the better the depth resolution and accuracy.
