Planet Ocean are pleased to announce their appointment as the UK & Eire distributor for Star-Oddi of Iceland. Ecosystem Research Equipment Star-Oddi offers a wide range of environmental research equipment such as fish archival tags, small CTD logger (salinity logger), submersible temperature and depth loggers, and other underwater data loggers with sensors including salinity, temperature, depth, pitch and roll, known for their small size, accuracy and reliability. Star-Oddi also makes accurate underwater temperature recorders and tilt loggers that are used as fish tags, oceanographic instruments as well as in diverse industries.

Starmon mini is a underwater temperature recorder designed for use
in oceans, rivers, and lakes. Starmon mini records the
temperature and stores the data into an internal memory . When Starmon mini is
connected to a PC computer, the software can be used to set up the
sampling interval and start time of the recordings. After the
recorder has been recovered from the deployment site, the data can be
retrieved by connecting the Starmon mini to a PC computer and use the
software to upload data from the recorder. Starmon mini is available in non-corrosive
titanium housing. Sensors: Temperature Memory Size: 350,000 measurements Battery Life: 7 years (battery replaceable) Depth: Plastic version to 400m, Titanium version down to 11,000m Temperature Accuracy: +/- 0.05°C

DST CTD and DST CT are the smallest salinity loggers on
world market. The DST CTD is specially designed as an archival tag for
tagging fish for analysing fish migration, distribution, feeding
behaviour, vertical and horizontal movements. DST CTD and DST CT must be
fastened externally on the fish as the salinity sensor must be in direct
contact with the seawater. Star-Oddi can provide fasteners for
external attachment if used as an archival tag. The archival tags
are ideal for research on other marine animals as well. The recaptured
archival tag can provide valuable information on the behavioural patterns
of the tagged animal. For recapture and return purposes, customers can
define their own text on the housings. The housing is made of
bio-compatible material, which does not endanger the health of the tagged
animal. The non-transparent housing ensures that the sunlight does not
affect the measuring and therefore provides more reliable data. DST CTD is also used as a stand-alone logger for sampling in the oceans. DST CT without depth recordings is ideal for mooring applications, at a fixed known depth, increasing the memory size, and lowering the price. For applications as fastening the CTD to fishing gear, Star-Oddi offers a protective plastic housing, for use under more harsh conditions (see pictures below). |

DST milli-T is a small waterproof data logger measuring temperature. Data are stored into a non-volatile memory. All measurements are time related, utilising a real time clock inside the DST. |
|
|
DST micro is a tiny Data Storage Tag that measures two
parameters, temperature and depth (pressure), and stores the
measurements in an internal memory of the tag. All measurements are
time related, utilizing a real time clock inside the tag. The tag is
based on an ultra small microprocessor and microelectronics. The DST
housing is made of biocompatible material. The user can define his
own text on housing for recapture purposes.

The DST centi
series is a small underwater data logger available with one or two
sensors, temperature and depth , for temperature and depth (pressure)
logging. Data is stored into a non-volatile memory. All measurements are
time related, utilising a real time clock inside the DST. The advantage
that DST centi has over the DST milli small TD logger, is that it has
longer battery life, and memory size can be extended to 261,916
measurements (DST centi-ex). However it's larger in size.

DST-Compass,
can be used for analysing movements of marine animals as well as various
underwater equipment. For analysing fish movements, it is advised to
fasten the tag at both ends for avoiding / limiting movements of the tag.
The performance of the DST compass is optimum when it is placed in the
horizontal plane, the further the compass pitches and/or rolls from the
horizontal plane the larger the error reading becomes.

DST pitch and roll
measures additionally to temperature and depth, relative pitch and roll
movements of the DST, with reference to the earth gravity. The measuring
parameters are measuring the gravity movements in two directions: The picture shows the measuring directions of the sensor relative to the DST housing. The DST pitch and roll tag allows the scientist to take frequent sampling of the orientation of fish using different sampling intervals. Measuring resolution is better than 1°. The sensor can be used for analysing movements of marine animals as well as various underwater gear. For analysing fish movements, it is advised to fasten the tag at both ends for avoiding / limiting movements of the tag. The tag has a measuring range of approximately +/- 80° in each direction.

DST GPS measures
temperature, pressure (depth) and listens to an acoustic GPS signal from
sonar. Data is stored in a non-volatile internal memory. All recordings
are time related, utilising a real time clock inside the recorder. The DST GPS is equipped with unique user specified features for optimising the tag's performance when receiving GPS position.

Tagging Equipment - UTE Star-Oddi has developed Underwater Tagging Equipment (UTE) for tagging fish down in the oceans. Being the first company to offer equipment for this purpose makes Star-Oddi a pioneer in the technology of tagging fish underwater. The equipment has revolutionized methods for fish tagging and fisheries research. The equipment is inserted in the ship's fishing trawl net to perform the operation underwater. |
