Animal research telemetry implant DST deci-HRT ACT

ECGtemperatureheart rate

Long-term overview of changes in fish or aquatic animal heart rate, activity, and temperature. Minimally invasive, leadless, and simple to implant. The most comprehensive tool on the market to measure individual physiological response of fish for extended period of time. Enables long term aquaculture monitoring, welfare, thermal tolerance, and swimming physiology. Key features Small, size 15 mm x 70 mm, 27g, long battery life Leadless, minimally invasive Statistical and raw 3-axis accelerometer data ECG derived heart rates as low as 4bpm Guaranteed pressure tolerance to 800 m Miniature in size and long battery life The DST deci-HRT ACT is a small, powerful heart rate, activity and temperature logger that weighs 27 g in air, with a diameter of 15 mm and length of 70 mm. Long-term heart rate and activity studies are simple to set up. You can expect a battery life lasting several months, typically between 5-45 months*, depending on sampling frequency and measurement interval. Published data from several fish species Star-Oddi loggers, available in five sizes, have been used successfully in several publications in various salmonid and other fish species. Fish weighing from approximately 120g up to several kg. The DST deci-HRT ACT is ideal for use in physiological and behavioural research on aquatic animals over 1100g. Published studies include thermal tolerance and swim speed tests.
