Schematic diagram of a fully assembled Telonics RDW-665 tag. Side view (top drawing) shows, from left to right, the distal endcap with the exposed Argos antenna and salt-water conductivity switch, the main body partially coated with antibiotic, and the penetrating tip and anchoring system with two rows of stainless-steel strips (“petals”) in deployed position. Top view (bottom drawing) shows the placing of the salt-water switch and the pressure transducer on the endcap. Both views show the two stop tabs extending laterally from the endcap to prevent the tag from embedding too deeply into the whale
