Mystery Tag Tool

Using this tool you can search the OTN database for tags classified as mystery tags, tags that were unresolved across the telemetry projects currently in the OTN database. You supply a list of your project's deployed tags, and this tool will provide you with:

• A list of matches from OTN mystery tags
• Years in which the tag was detected
• The total number of times each tag was detected
• The general ocean regions where the tag was detected.

Tags entered here can be exported into the OTN tag metadata format to streamline the process of registering your tags as part of the Ocean Tracking Network and retrieving all detections, past, present and future, of your deployed tags across all OTN-affiliated receivers worldwide. If the supplied tag IDs have already been assigned to a researcher, with OTN, for the ocean and year in question, it will not be returned by this tool.

Note: Recently released tags may not appear using this tool. This is due to the frequency in which receiver data has been loaded in our system.
