We released 598 Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) hatchery smolts in a river in Iceland in 2005 and 2006 tagged with data storage tags recording temperature and (depth) continuously. Five salmon returned in 2006 and two in 2007, all spending 1 year at sea. The complete temperature and depth profiles of the whole ocean migration were measured. The salmon stayed close to the surface most of the time and showed diurnal behavior, staying at slightly deeper waters during day. The salmon were in temperatures from 6 to 15 °C, with warmer temperatures in the summer. We compared the fish-recorded temperature with sea surface temperature from an available National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration database to locate the fish at different times. Utilizing the diurnal behavior of the salmon, we estimated solar noon each day during winter. Sea surface temperatures and diurnal activity were used to estimate daily locations using established Hidden Markov Model for fish geolocation. The salmon in the study stayed southwest of Iceland in the Irminger Sea during the first summer months, but in the fall they moved towards the Faroes Islands and then back to the Irminger Sea where they stayed, until returning to the river. The salmon also took shorter and deeper dives (>100 m) during the latter part of their ocean migration.

Abstract van der Kooij, J., Righton, D., Strand, E., Michalsen, K., Thorsteinsson, V., Svedäng, H., Neat, F. C., and Neuenfeldt, S. 2007. Life under pressure: insights from electronic data-storage tags into cod swimbladder function. – ICES Journal of Marine Science. 64: 1293–1301. The behavioural response of cod (Gadus morhua) to sudden pressure reductions was investigated in a large electronic-tagging experiment using data collected from 141 cod tagged in five different areas of the Northeast Atlantic. More than 40% of cod exhibited a characteristic equilibration behaviour after a rapid pressure reduction caused either by capture before tagging, or by pressure reduction during a rapid ascent from the seabed, or when migrating to deeper water. The equilibration allowed the cod to regain demersal residence. The rate of descent averaged 10 m d−1 (ranging from 2 to 23 m d−1) over periods of less than a day to 1 month. Descent rates for cod on the Icelandic shelf were inversely related to fish length, i.e. smaller fish descended more rapidly, findings consistent with results achieved in the past under laboratory conditions. Modelling of swimbladder volume during equilibration suggested that cod were negatively buoyant for most of the time. The results imply that swimbladder functionality is retained after the probable barotrauma that would follow a large and rapid ascent, and that rates of gas exchange into the swimbladder may be naturally variable. These findings have implications for assumptions on discard mortality, the interpretation of cod behaviour, and its impact on biomass estimates obtained from acoustic surveys.

Abstract We describe a tagging method using underwater-tagging equipment (UTE), developed in collaboration between the Icelandic Marine Research Institute and the marine-device manufacturer STAR–ODDI. The tagging device can be attached to a pelagic or demersal trawl, immediately in front of the codend. Fish that enter the trawl are guided through the UTE, where they enter a tagging chamber to be held, tagged, and then released. The tagging equipment is electronically controlled from the vessel by a computer with a hard-wire, sonar cable link between the ship and the device. The same cable carries signals from four video cameras in the UTE, and a researcher can view images of the fish on a computer screen and control the tagging equipment simultaneously. The motivation for this project is the need to be able to tag fish, in situ, underwater, so avoiding the problem of swimbladder expansion that for physoclists such as redfish precludes conventional tagging. The UTE has been used to tag redfish in the size range 32–52 cm. Other species, such as saithe, have also entered the equipment and have been tagged with success. The tagging equipment could therefore be an alternative for tagging any medium-size roundfish, such as cod, haddock, and saithe, as well as many deep-sea species in their natural environment without subjecting them to the hazardous journey from deep water to the surface. In all, 752 redfish were tagged with the UTE in 2003 and 2004. Of these, 29 (3.9%) have been recaptured, most with reliable information on date, position, and condition at the time of capture. The tags used in 2003 and 2004 were dummy tags identical in size and shape to the external housings of electronic data-storage tags. In 2005, real DSTs were used of the type DST-micro from STAR–ODDI. These will in future provide time-series of ambient temperature and depth.
