The Graham Laboratory at SIO is currently conducting a study of common thresher shark (Alopias vulpinus) movement patterns through the use of archival tags. These tags record depth and temperature data for approximately 40 days after deployment.

A great deal of fishing effort goes into tagging these animals – however, the archival tags must be recovered in order to download the data. Therefore, our study is dependent upon tag returns by recreational and commercial fishermen.
