Introducing the Lotek Arc2 Geolocation Archival tags, part of a new generation of archival tags, the Lotek Arc2 series. The product of over 25 years of archival tag design and manufacturing experience, from the company that achieved the longest light-based geolocation track ever: over 9 years!
Arc2 tags are more energy efficient than their predecessors. They have larger memory and now employ metal housings for additional robustness in deep water applications.
Timing of migration/movement studies, behaviour identification and characterization studies; feeding, spawning, migration, endangered species critical habitat utilization studies, fisheries management stock structure studies. validation of stock assessment model studies, ocean observing studies.
