Development of single-pin, un-barbed, pole-tagging of free-swimming dolphins and sharks with satellite-linked transmitters by Michael J. Moore, Thomas M. Lanagan, Randall S. Wells, Jason Kapit, Aaron A. Barleycorn, Jason B. Allen, Robin W. Baird, Camrin D. Braun, Gregory B. Skomal, Simon R. Thorrold

“…It uses compressed air, and a micro-controller, to rapidly insert a stainless-steel pin through a corrodible metal retaining ring in the first tag attachment wing, the animal’s dorsal fin, and then a press fit Delrin retaining ring in the tag wing on the other side of the fin. Tagging only occurs when the trailing edge of the dorsal fin touches a trigger bar in the holster, ensuring optimal pin placement. …”
