<P>Dear coral-listers,</P>
<P>My colleague Mebrahtu Ateweberhan, who works in a joint project of the
University of Asmara (Eritrea) and the Groningen University (The Netherlands),
seeks information on underwater temperature loggers. He is especially interested
in experiences of other researchers with this type of apparatus. I forward his
message:</P>
<P>Out of 4 temperature loggers that we purchased in 1997, only one remains
operational. Two of the loggers were found damaged while the third one was
reading wrong values. We think the problem is associated with the size and the
strength of the case. We are looking for suggestions on data loggers with rugged
and strong case that withstands the strong water motion and with a 0-50
<SUP>o</SUP>C ranges of reading. Price obviously is an issue as well.</P>
