De la Torre Pedro, et al., "The integrated satellite-acoustic telemetry (iSAT) system for tracking marine megafauna." In 2012 Oceans-Yeosu, 2012, 1. This document describes the integrated satellite-acoustic telemetry (iSAT) system: an autonomous modular system for tracking the movements of large pelagic fish using acoustic telemetry and satellite communications. The sensor platform is described along with the propulsion and navigation systems. An application for tracking the whale shark (Rhincodon typus) in the Red Sea is included along with a discussion of the technical difficulties that such
