Description:Large pelagic fish are an area of mystery; through the use of Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags (PSATs) more information can be obtained. PSATs are used for large pelagic fish data acquisition and connect information to a satellite data base. Failure by the dart anchors used to hold PSATs underneath the flesh of large pelagic fish has resulted in the loss of data and unreturned PSA Ts from the wild. Testing the holding force needed to anchor a PSAT into a large pelagic fish provides useful information about the behavior of the darts used and why failure is occurring.
