Temperature sensing Data Storage Tag (DST) for both long- and short-term studies. Minimally invasive and easy to tag or implant. Ideal for tagging studies on small fish, for accurately recording fish environmental temperature profile over time. Key features One of the world’s smallest logger with long battery life Suitable for aquatic animal species as small as 30g Minimally invasive and simple to implant Guaranteed pressure tolerance to 1000 meters Detailed temperature profile with date and time Tiny logger (1.3g) with long battery life – typically over 1 year The DST nano-T is an extremely small temperature data logger, weighing only 1.3g with a diameter of 7.2 mm and length 18 mm. Measuring at 1 hour intervals, the battery can last up to 2 years, depending on the water temperature. Minimally invasive and simple to implant This tiny archival tag is hermetically sealed. The biocompatible housing is designed for implantation, but it can also be externally attached. A small incision is made when implanting the tag and closed with a couple of stitches. Application The temperature sensor tag can be used on both captive and wild fish and other aquatic animals. The tag is ideal for salmon smolt tagging studies as an example where detailed temperature profile is needed, including physiological studies, recording migration behaviour such as thermal preference observation, marine habitat-use, and ocean entry timing. For tagging and release a return text (phone number) is printed on the housing. Serial number is always printed on the housing. Guaranteed pressure tolerance to 1000m and waterproof
