Description:

Wildlife Computers Mk9 Time-Depth Recorders (TDR-Mk9) are small archival tags best designed for studies involving marine animals where the tag and/or animal can be recovered.

The TDR-Mk9 measures depth, temperature, and light-level and also differentiate wet or dry conditions at a user-configured sampling interval.

Light-level and a second temperature sensor can be added to a sensor stalk making it suitable for both external attachment and internal implantation. TDR-Mk9s have been used on seals, penguins, otters, large pelagic fish, and many other applications.
