This call-out is for a qty 1000 production run of  SeaTag-LOT  offered at a price of $499 per tag.  SeaTag-LOT is a simple but very capable  Argos pop-up satellite tag optimized for large scale stock assessments and mortality studies. While a recent design, SeaTag-LOT capabilities have been validated by multiple published studies as linked below. SeaTag-LOT capabilities include migratory track estimation using light and sea surface temperature (provided by CLS Track&Loc processing at additional charge),  mortality detection using an efficient temperature gradient approach , daily summaries, and pop-up positions.   Solar powered with post-pop-up satellite reporting endurance of several months to years, the tag has also proven  ideal for ocean drifter studies such as related to juvenile hawksbill turtles .   Its small size and low-drag design  compares favorably to other PSAT  and makes this tag in particular suitable for tagging small animals. The long reporting endurance also supports specialized studies not possible with battery powered tags;  in one published study  leading to a hypothesis of a high incidence of of illegal shark fishing in a pacific islands sanctuary.
