Product Details Overview: The DST milli-TD is a reliable temperature and depth archival tag, designed for long-term behavior and migration studies of fish and marine animals. It features a small size, high performance, long battery life, and large memory capacity. Key Features: Long life and large memory Depth sensors for shallow to deeper water Fish implantation or external attachment Tag holder kit for easier and safer attachment Customized text on housing for recapture purposes Memory & Battery: Stores up to 1.4 million measurements, with user-defined intervals as fast as every second. Memory and battery can last up to 2.5 years at a 2-minute sampling interval. Size: 39.4 mm x 13 mm, Weight: 13 grams. Multiple recording intervals can be set. Application: Designed for economical migration and dive behavioral studies of fish and marine animals. Can be implanted or attached externally. Also usable as a standalone temperature-depth logger for various applications. Depth Calibration: Calibrated up to 800 meters. Available calibration ranges: 50 m, 100 m, 250 m, 500 m, 800 m. Shallower ranges offer better resolution and accuracy. Attachment: Implantable in the abdominal cavity or externally attached using a tag holder kit. Spaghetti tag option available for easier spotting of tagged fish. Ease of Use: Supported by SeaStar software and Communication Box (required for setup and data retrieval). Programming via USB connection to PC. Supports single or multiple sampling intervals (up to 7 different intervals). Software calculates memory and battery life based on settings. Data Retrieval: After recapture, data is uploaded via the Communication Box. Results are displayed graphically and in tables, exportable to other programs. Data can be reused as long as battery lasts. Accessories: Communication Box: Interface for connecting DST to PC for setup and data retrieval. SeaStar Software: For Windows, displays data in graphs and tables, exportable to other programs. Plate Holder Kit: For external attachment, includes wire fasteners, plastic plates, and silicone pads for animal comfort. Capsule Holder Kit: Plastic capsule with holes for water flow, includes wire harness and silicone pads. Floating Device: For internal or external tagging, available in two sizes, can be coated or painted for visibility.
