Data Acquisition
This note is about sensors, other devices, and systems for data acquisition.
Argos, smart environment solutions, satellite tracking and analysis of wildlife movements, pollution, etc.

"Eels avoided depths at which light was measurable by the tag sensors during their vertical migrations. As a consequence, no measurements were available from the light sensors to estimate the eels’ geolocations. To overcome this limitation, we used the timings of the diel vertical migrations to estimate the times of sunrise and sunset to further derive longitude and latitude. In other words, we took advantage of the eels’ eyes as light sensors that they use to avoid visual predators..."
