mso-border-alt:none windowtext 0in;padding:0in">SharkCam research vehicle has been featured multiple times on the Discovery
Channel’s annual Shark Week. The REMUS AUV SharkCam, originally developed for coastal mapping and monitoring, is outfitted with water current profilers, salinity and temperature probes as well as six HD video cameras to give scientist a broad range of data
on the animal’s position in the water, as well as its habitat and behavior. During operation a harpoon is used to tag the shark's dorsal fin with a transponder, while Kukulya and her colleagues quickly launch the REMUS SharkCam. The tag's transponder communicates
with the AUV, allowing it to track the animal up to depths of roughly 600 meters. When the mission is complete, the team sends an acoustic command to the shark tag's release trigger, which then mechanically releases the tag from the animal, allowing it to
float to the surface for retrieval. Let’s learn more about this fascinating research technique.</span></b></p>
