Researchers have also been attaching beacons (via time-release suction cups) to sharks and to follow them with autonomous vehicles outfitted with cameras. You may have seen the footage on Discovery Channel programs.

- aksss 6y agoaren't all suction cups essentially time-release?
- rgovostes 6y agoIf I recall, these have some kind of tube that is plugged on one end with some time-release mechanism, perhaps a material that slowly dissolves in the water. Eventually water enters the tube and equalizes pressure on both sides, causing it to detach. This allows them to recover the beacon and make another deployment.
