PSAT

Pop-Up Satellite Archival Tag

The Lotek PSAT family of Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags are designed to maximise
throughput of location data combined with reliability, longevity and ease of use.

Options

The Lotek PSATGEO tags implement Lotek’s proprietary template-fit algorithm which calculates the light geolocation position estimates onboard the tag. This allows a complete daily snapshot to be transmitted in a single Argos transmission which significantly increases the probability of receiving data for each day of the scheduled deployment.
PSATLIFE tags are targeted at short to medium term post-release survival studies, or other studies requiring detailed time-series depth and temperature records.
PSATFLEX tags offer full customisation of the data collection, deployment duration and data transmission to meet the requirements of any study.

Product Application Examples

PSATGEO – long distance migration studies using light-geolocation.
PSATLIFE – studies investigating post-release survival in recreational fisheries and bycatch of non-target species in commercial fisheries
PSATFLEX – tailored configuration for any suitable study.
