STAR-ODDIIt is a small sensor research and development company specializing in water environment and animal physiological and ecological monitoring. Due to its advantages of compact structure, small volume, light weight, and strong stability, it is widely used in the research of aquatic animal physiological and ecological monitoring and water environment monitoring. It mainly includes three types of products:
(1)StarmonUnderwater temperature and depth recording series, suitable for various water environment ecological investigation and monitoring, widely used in fields such as oceans, rivers, lakes, aquaculture, etc.


(2)DSTThe electronic tagging series for aquatic animals can simultaneously monitor water environment temperature, depth/pressure, salinity/conductivity, three-dimensional inclination angle, geomagnetic field strength, and animal activity. It is widely used for tagging fish and aquatic animals, research on fish ecology, fishery resources, and monitoring of underwater objects (instruments, nets, etc.).


(3)DSTThe implantable animal temperature and heart rate monitoring series is widely used in experimental animal monitoring, animal physiological and ecological research, pharmacology research, pathology research, toxicity experiments, immunology research experiments, energy metabolism measurement monitoring, etc.

Application case:
The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) uses DST CTD attached to cod to analyze data on salinity, temperature, and depth, enabling scientists to better explain the relationship between individual behavior, gender, and reproductive status. At the same time, by comparing recorded environmental parameters with existing hydrological data, it helps to map fish migration routes and distributions.
Scientists from NASA have discovered bacteria that have survived for 250000 years in the cold and dark waters beneath the Antarctic ice sheet. By analyzing data recorded by DST CTD, this discovery has propelled new understanding of life and provided scientists with new clues to explore microbial ecosystems.
