Following a tiger - 26 months and counting

November 2011 - Researchers have successfully tracked a tiger shark tagged with a Wildlife Computers SPOT tag for twenty-six months now.

Mahmood Shivji, a professor at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, says, "We are often hearing from the sharks for a year, and in a couple cases coming up to 2 years... Just fantastic tag performance." He also shared that Wildlife Computers tags are "providing amazing insight into long-term migrations of tiger sharks." An opportunity to view the tiger shark tracks, is documented on the group's interactive website. This site is best viewed with Google Chrome as your browser (it provides the sharpest picture), but will work with Firefox and IE9 also.

Mahmood and his group are now also deploying SPOT tags on oceanic whitetip sharks. While it's early weeks yet, results look very promising.

Now THAT'S service...

November 2011 - Sometimes you need a tag in a hurry and the only way to get it there is "special delivery." That's what happened with this SPLASH10 tag Paul Ponganis needed for an Antarctic deployment.

When it comes to tagging technology, we are there with you (literally, this time). Our aim is to partner with you in order to make your research successful. We understand the business of science and what it takes to succeed. We are scientists too; we publish papers and are often acknowledged in peer-reviewed publications.

Roger Hill has participated for several field seasons in one of the research projects going on in the far, frozen south. This year he was conveniently able to hand-carry a tag from a last minute order, and we now have a "delivery confirmation" photo to show for it.
