Acoustic Telemetry Resources
While acoustic telemetry may seem like a simple process – tag a fish and then see where it goes – that is just the beginning (and arguably the fun part!) of using this technology. From field methods to data analysis, there’s a lot to learn. We’ve compiled a collection of valuable resources to support you on your acoustic telemetry journey. Whether you’re looking for guidance or discovering new tools you never knew existed, we hope you find these materials helpful.
At the FACT Network our researchers commonly use different tag types to help answer questions about animal movement and behavior – from acoustic to satellite tags. Tag technology is always evolving and many also have additional sensors that can be built into the tag. Click on an icon to the right to learn more about the tag manufacturers.
The Ocean Tracking Network has great resources such as study hall!
Come connect with researchers around the world and get help with those R coding questions or acoustic telemetry analysis. Great for students and early career professionals.
Looking to see what acoustic telemetry R packages are out there?
OTN has a handy page showcasing some of the R packages available that have been designed for analyzing animal movement and telemetry data. It’s a great place to start on your analysis journey!
