AI Thread Summary
A young great white shark was successfully kept alive in captivity for 198 days, significantly surpassing the previous record of 16 days. Scientists are now tracking the shark after its release, utilizing an electronic tag equipped with sensors that measure ocean depth and temperature. The discussion highlights interest in the specific technology used in the tagging process, particularly the types of sensors involved and their capabilities.

I am curious as to what kind of electronic tag they affixed before setting the shark free. It seems to have included sensors measuring ocean depth (perhaps by atmospheric pressure) and temperature (perhaps by thermocouple). It would be very interesting to see what other sensors they had on board.
