I couldn't get that link to work, but this one does... it's amazing to me that scientists can attach the tag to the cuttlebone and not affect the living animal.

Thanks for the working link CG. That tag does look huge compared to the cuttlebone but what might be as amazing is that 4 of 8 have been found and reported.

I think those scientists must be the envy of all other taggers out there! 50% retrieval rate is pretty darn good!
