Special Pressure Transducers Applied in Tracking Devices of Marine Animals

One of the most important tasks that environmental scientists do is to track animals. This will help them save endangered species, predict the spread of disease through animals, and better understand the effects of human intervention and global warming on the environment.

How to track wildlife:

To track wildlife, scientists hunt animals, attach small tracking devices to them without harming them, and then return them to the environment. These devices record and send the GPS position of the animals at regular intervals (per minute, per hour or several times a day).

Deep sea tracking devices:

Tracking marine animals faces the challenge of depth, temperature and other challenges. For this purpose, new tracking devices have been designed that have special pressure transducers that result in high economic savings of these devices. With a built-in sensor, these devices can be used in a wide range of temperatures and can withstand pressures up to a depth of 1000 meters.
