How do you know where a fish goes? - EurekAlert


An acoustic transmitter – or tag – emits unique signals or “pings” when scientists want to study the long-distance movement of marine animals. However, this method has limitations. Using a pioneering movement model, researchers reconstructed animal tracks and leveraged an iterative process to measure the accuracy and precision of these reconstructions from acoustic telemetry data. Results demonstrate how researchers can apply these techniques and measure the accuracy and precision of the methods to their study sites.
