* » Abstract

Satellite tagging was implemented in 2013. Satellite tagging is conducted using a Dan Inject air rifle and deployment arrows designed by Wildlife Computers. Two types of tags are deployed. One type is a Wildlife Computers SPOT5-240C tag that collects location and temperature. The other tag type is the Wildlife Computers SPLASH10-292B, which provides location as well as depth, temperature, and light level.

* Purpose

Satellite tagging is used to study the movements and habitat use of individuals. Additionally, SPLASH10 tags provide information on the dive behavior of individuals.

• Supplemental Information

Both tag types are deployed in the LIMPET configuration. The tags are attached to the dorsal fin with two sterilized, titanium darts with backward facing petals. Two dart lengths are used depending on the species (4.5 cm for small to medium odontocetes or 6.5 cm for large odontocetes). The programming of the tag configurations vary depending on the species and follow the specifications used by Cascadia Research Collective (CRC) based on the average number of respirations per hour, speed of surfacing, and the likelihood that a tag would remain attached for longer than a month, which were determined in previous tagging studies by CRC (Baird et al. 2013).
