Summary: | Southeast Asia Sea Turtle Cooperative Research (SEASTAR2000) ORGANISED BY KYOTO UNIVERSITY, JAPAN; THE UNEVERSITY OF TOKYO, JAPAN; PHUKET MARINE BIOLOGICAL CENTER, THAILAND; SEA TURTLE CONSERVATION STATION, THAILAND; MARINE FISHERIES DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES, THAILAND KYOTO, Japan, 27-30. November 2010 We challenged to adopt several micro-electronic devices to measure aquatic lives. The devices included data storage tags, ultrasonic tags, and satellite PTTs for the red sea breams , Adélie penguins Pygoscelis adeliae, the Lake Biwa catfish Silurus biwaensis, and sea turtles Caretta caretta. Based on these results, new devices for marine biotelemetry are under development. They are a visual data storage tag and a magnetic field sensor accelerometer tag. We have a plan to test the prototypes in Thailand coming February.
