Animal-borne electronic instruments (tags) are valuable tools for collecting information on cetacean physiology, behaviour and ecology, and for
enhancing conservation and management policies for cetacean populations. Tags allow researchers to track the movement patterns, habitat use and
other aspects of the behaviour of animals that are otherwise difficult to observe. They can even be used to monitor the physiology of a tagged
animal within its changing environment. Such tags are ideal for identifying and predicting responses to anthropogenic threats, thus facilitating the
development of robust mitigation measures. With the increasing need for data best provided by tagging and the increasing availability of tags, such
research is becoming more common. Tagging can, however, pose risks to the health and welfare of cetaceans and to personnel involved in tagging
operations. Here we provide ‘best practice’ recommendations for cetacean tag design, deployment and follow-up assessmen.....
