Hi
The U-172 capture report, has this entry:

"BATHYTHERMOGRAPHS ON U-BOATS

A reliable prisoner stated that he was acquainted with the Bathythermograph which bears the German nick-name of “Lachs” (literally “salmon”). As far as he knows this is never carried by U-boats on patrol but he thought that it was built into weather buoys. It might be carried by boats carrying meteorologists. If a boat remains submerged for a long time it is constantly to take samples of the water every half hour to determine the density. This might be done more frequently if the boat shows a tendency to rise or fall."
