The mrPAT is easy to deploy making it simple for research partners, such as sport and commercial fishermen, to assist with deployments. Wildlife Computers arranges for the Argos platform numbers and covers the Argos charges. Tags arrive preassembled with tether and anchor. The mrPAT will automatically deploy when it is submerged in seawater. After a specified time interval or on an absolute date, the release pin burns through, separating the tag from its tether. The tag then floats to the surface and begins transmitting to Argos. The battery provides ballast, offering stability while the tag is under tow and good keeling while floating.
