In past research on bio-logging, we attached Argos transmitters to large marine animals and studied their migratory and diving behaviors, but now our research group has successfully developed a new high-performance energy-saving small data logger, a camera logger and even a small automatic detaching device. Fascinating research on all types of marine animals is being conducted based on this technology.
