Razorbill

Pathtrack tags have successfully been used to track Razorbills, providing both GPS and depth data via wireless download. The examples below demonstrate how our new picoFix® GPS technology now allows us to achieve either significant increases in GPS capacity or significant weight reduction when compared to the previous nanoFix® configurations used on this species
