INNOVASEA V13 (top) and V16 (bottom) acoustic transmitters. These models were surgically implanted subcutaneously in the pre-femoral region of fifteen loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), with the V13 used for turtles that had straight carapace length (SCL) between 30 and 49 cm, and the V16 used for turtles ≥ 50 cm SCL. In this photograph, the inhibitory magnet and adhesive stickers are still attached to the surface of each transmitter. These are removed to activate the transmitter prior to implantation. Scale shows 1 mm increments. Photograph courtesy of Deana Edmunds
