RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Re: [PSUBS} Tagging Coelacanths in Africa

Geez Phil - If you ever need a ships Doctor, I'm available!
Just in the news was a guy in WW2 who cut out another guys appendix
while on a submarine with "Make shift" equipment. He finally received
some metal for bravery or something of the sort. I would even bring my
own scalpel and settle for a PSUB award. 
How about it?

Hi, Dave:
        No, we don't have any plan to 'manipulate' Coelacanths directly
. . . the plan is to fly a small ROV off 'Aquarius' which will do the
actual tagging. The Coelacanth are somewhat lethargic and easy to
approach - their defensive mode seems to be to go deeper or slip into
the narrow/low entrance caves in which they spend most of their time -
coming out periodically to feed. The ROV will be small enough to enter
the caves and if they go deeper - well, that's our specialty!. We will
document in HD and light with HMI's - the tags are miniature
transmitters and we will be able to develop an electronic map of the
critters froraging/feeding and hangin' out habits. We will do tagging
tests on local rockfish this year and head for SA next spring. Phil
