In this study, to investigate the effects of deoxygenation on marine predators such as blue sharks, the dissolved oxygen measuring (DOME) archival tag is introduced. The oxygen sensor incorporated in the DOME archival tag includes an ultra-compact oxygen meter (PICO2-OEM, PyroScience GmbH) connected to an optical sensor spot (OXSP5-SUB, PyroScience GmbH) that measures DO concentrations at user-designated intervals.
