Abstract:Background - Biologging technologies have yielded new insights into the ecology and behaviour of elasmobranchs, but to date most studies involve animal capture and restraint to attach tags. Capturing animals usually results in a period of atypical behaviour after release and is undesirable or simply not possible for large and vulnerable elasmobranchs such as mobulas and whale-sharks. We developed and tested two non-invasive multisensor towed-tags designed to avoid animal capture and restraint. The use of towed… Show more
