The Institute of Freshwater Fisheries in Iceland have so far recaptured five salmon with DST micro, depth and temperature recording tags. The salmons were among the 300 tagged salmon smolts that were released in the spring of 2005. The tags had recorded depth and temperature of the fish at one hour sampling interval during the whole migratory route of the fish, which was ca. 15 months. The data from the tags show similar patterns in preferred temperature and depth dives of the fish. Read more about salmon smolt tagging program.
