DST Pitch & Roll Logger Small submersible pitch and roll logger with additional temperature and depth sensors
Overview: Sensors: Pitch and Roll, Temperature and Depth Memory size: 348,000 measurements in total Battery life: 5 years Depth: Down to 3000m
Application examples:
- For analysing fish movements/orientation in relation to buoyancy (gas in/out from swimming bladder).
- Analysing fish target strength in acoustic surveys in relation to their behaviour and orientation, for improving biomass estimations.
- Finding pattern in fish behaviour, diurnal/seasonal, for improving acoustic surveys estimation of biomass.
- Analysing orientation of trawl doors and other fishing gear.

The 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.

Easy to use
DST centi series is supported by the SeaStar software for Windows, and a communication box which connects to a PC computer. All communications and data transfer is wireless via the communication box. DST is inserted into the box for establishing communication, using the SeaStar software. Before use of the DST, the user sets the sampling interval and start time of recordings. After recapture of DST, the data is retrieved to a PC computer, using the communication box and SeaStar software. The logger can be re-programmed and reused as long as battery lasts.
