Biotelemetry Weddell Seal Work in the Antarctic
Telemetry • Radiotelemetry: • transmitter size can be quite small (<1 g) • Transmission distance limited by geography • Relatively inexpensive ($150 per transmitter) • Can transmit location, movement, some physiological data • Satellite Telemetry (GPS): • Larger transmitters (>30 g) • No limitation on transmission distance • Extraordinarily expensive ($10,000 per trans) • Can transmit location, movement, or physiological data • Biotelemetry • Can record heart rate, depth, movement, speed • Usually the unit on the animal must be retrieved to download the data
