We design and implement a release-cage mechanism to reduce predation. We deploy PSAT’s to track the vertical movements of Cuban dogfish. The cage protected animals from predation, during their return to depth. Four of seven Cuban dogfish were tracked for the 14-day deployment duration. Animals performed diel vertical migrations, residing shallower during the night. Three animals were consumed by predators, which occurred during daytime.
