Acoustic Fish Tagging

Acoustic fish tagging is a scientific method used to study the movement and behavior of fish. It involves attaching a small, waterproof sensor called a tag to the fish, which emits unique sound signals (acoustic signals) detected by underwater microphones or receivers. These receivers are strategically placed in the fish’s habitat to track their location in real-time. This technique helps researchers understand migration patterns, habitat use, and population dynamics, providing valuable data for fish conservation and management without harming the fish or disrupting their natural behavior.
