From page 135...
... Data obtained from conventional tag and release programs are vital for discerning the rate of movement and the extent of mixing in He Atlantic Ocean. Acoustic or sonic tags have provided information on daily behavior, depth and temperature preference, and body temperature.

From page 136...
... Methods for mounting the tags will vary widely, depending on We species being examined. Archival tags typically contain a data logger board with a microcontroller, a mass data store win up to one megabyte of memory, and an analog sensor board.
