The SPLASH-F-391 is the first shape in our updated SPLASH product line. Our updated SPLASH (formerly SPLASH10) tags incorporate the last ten years of researcher input to create a tag with model-ready temperature profiles and fully integrated with the Wildlife Computers Data Portal.
The SPLASH-F-391 (Fastloc®) tags is a data-archiving, satellite transmitting tags designed for tracking vertical and horizontal movements of free-range marine animals. A SPLASH-F-391 tag works best for researchers conducting fine-scale movement studies on diving animals like pinnipeds but also for studies involving oceanographic research.
Fastloc technology is what sets this tag apart. A SPLASH-F tag uses Argos for location estimates and data retrieval, with optional Fastloc® GPS for higher-resolution estimates. Fastloc uses GPS to provide highly accurate locations in under a second. Fastloc allows for fine-scale locations on animals that surface too quickly for a traditional GPS or Argos fix— Fastloc acquires positions every few minutes compared to a maximum of a few dozen a day with Argos-only tags.
