Lotek's electromyogram (EMG) transmitter represents one of the components of a field-proven system which enables researchers to record physiological data from free-swimming fish. Designed to be mounted either externally or internally, EMG transmitters measure muscle activity using probes inserted into the musculature of the fish. The EMG Series provides you with a powerful quantitative estimate of the energetic costs associated with physical activity. It is the only transmitter that truly indicates mortality. |

Applications

Radio telemetry
has been used to obtain relative or qualitative estimates of fish activity,
for the most part, through the use of mercury switches. The EMG transmitter,
in conjunction with the SRX_400 receiver/datalogger
and peripherals, offers an incomparable means of quantitatively addressing
activity and energy budget issues both in the lab and in the field,
without the need for mercury switches.

Specifications
|
Transmitter operational life varies based in part, upon environmental conditions to which they are subjected. For this reason, typical values for operational life may be specified, with guaranteed operational life defined as 90% of the typical value. All transmitters are guaranteed to meet stated specifications upon shipment. Any Lotek transmitter found to be defective, with respect to material, workmanship or guaranteed operational life, effective from date of receipt, will be repaired or replaced. Owing to variable beat rate characteristics, operational life of temperature and other sensor transmitters is limited to typical values. |
