Current marine research primarily depends on weighty and invasive sensory equipment and telemetric network to understand the marine environment, including the diverse fauna it contains, as a function of animal behavior and size, as well as equipment longevity. To match animal morphology and activity within the surrounding marine environment, here we show a physically flexible and stretchable skin-like and waterproof autonomous multifunctional system, integrating Bluetooth, memory chip, and high performance physical sensors. The sensory tag is mounted on a swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) and is capable of continuous logging of depth, temperature, and salinity within the harsh ocean environment. The fully packaged, ultra-lightweight (<2.4 g in water), and compliant “Marine Skin” system does not have any wired connection enabling safe and weightless cutting-edge approach to monitor and assess marine life and the ecosystem’s health to support conservation and management of marine ecosystems.

当前的海洋研究主要依靠重量和侵入性传感设备和遥测网络来了解海洋环境，包括其所包含的各种动物，这是动物行为和大小以及设备寿命的函数。为了匹配周围海洋环境中的动物形态和活动，在这里我们展示了一个物理上灵活且可拉伸的皮肤状和防水自主多功能系统，该系统集成了蓝牙，存储芯片和高性能物理传感器。感官标签安装在游泳蟹（Portunus pelagicus），并且能够在恶劣的海洋环境中连续记录深度，温度和盐度。完全包装的超轻量级产品（水中<2.4 g）且兼容的“海洋皮肤”系统没有任何有线连接，可采用安全，轻便的尖端方法来监视和评估海洋生物和生态系统的健康状况，以支持保护和海洋生态系统管理。
