Made a starter pack to help connect any fellow researchers using biotelemetry/animal tracking! Heavy marine bias right now so just ask to be added!

Hi! I’m a PhD student in South Australia looking at the diet and movement of sharks and rays using #stableisotopes, #fattyacids, and #acoustictelemetry. I’m analysing how species partition resources to coexist in different environments 🦈

That's me 👇! I'll be giving a quick overview of my #acoustictelemetry positioning and clock synchronization toolset this thursday at the OTN study hall.
This Thursday! Come chat with @rtbecard.bsky.social about kaltoa - a package for Kalman filtered time-of-arrival positioning of acoustic tag detection data. Check the User Guide linked here, and come by Study hall this Thursday for questions with James! rtbecard.gitlab.io/kaltoa/

Weird convergence in my life: using #acoustictelemetry 🐟🦑 tracking principles to hunt down public surveillance devices the city won't release to FOIA requests.

#trackingnotslacking indeed.
I triangulate fish for my day job (niche); when we set out receivers to listen/position, a "sawtooth" pattern works the best. It seems the Ravens are set out to position targets. If you want to find more devices look in areas that are holes in the sawtooth pattern. I've circled a couple on your map.

Come join us for informal discussions, help, and co-working centered around movement ecology and #rstats and python programming.

Cable management is my passion... 😬

Well at least it powered sturg-alert.obrien.page for two months. Check out github.com/mhpob/biotel... for the skeleton to create your own live telemetry dashboard.

Now that seemingly all the fish people have jumped over here, i want to bump this old post about Ed's very impressive particle filter for acoustic telemetry animal tracking. #acoustictelemetry #fishsci #fisheries
Do you work with large #acoustictelemetry networks?

Ed Lavender just put out a new model for tracking the paths of aquatic animals through these networks.

- Try the new R package here: https://buff.ly/4dDzcPW
- Check out the preprint here: https://buff.ly/3AA0ibR

Applications of HMMs and SFFs to fine-scale #acoustictelemetry of fishes in rivers. Utilizing super high resolution covariate data from hydrodynamic modelling.
Happy to share another paper from my PhD was published recently - covering 2 chapters! Using hidden Markov models and step selection functions to analyse fine-scale acoustic telemetry data and then predict spatial usage from model output 🐟 #trackingnotslacking

I asked a #oceaninstruments rep (@Aquatic Noise) if they could share their SDK so i could write custm linux software for their soundtrap... They said yes AND offered to send me the .dll source code 😍.

Quite a contrast from my experiences with #innovasea...

Hi, I'm Guðbjörg a fish ecologist at Uni Iceland

I like many methods, including #acoustictelemetry, #behavior, #stakeholder involvement and #historical ecology, but have a core interest in intraspecific variation and #biodiversity.

Me and group (pictured) are based in the beautiful #Westfjords 🏔️🌊

CODSPA acoustically tagged 40 spawning cod in N-Iceland + placed two hydrophones to follow movement, depth, acceleration and possible spawning sounds. First data offload planned in early September - stay tuned to find out whether the fish have been scientifically cooperative 🐟 #AcousticTelemetry

Curious if I can throw this at fish positions and vessel AIS data. Right now Atl. sturgeon vessel interaction is based on supposition from carcasses and labor-intensive side-scan sonar data. Could be useful to have something slightly less labor-intensive #acoustictelemetry #trackingnotslacking 🧪🐟🦑

Interesting read this morning - new paper on #elasmobranchs and #acoustictelemetry led by Ed Lavender - integrating acoustic telemetry, archival data and particle algorithms to investigate space use within + beyond an MPA, well worth a read! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Animal tracking with particle algorithms informs protected area design
Particle algorithms strengthen the value of acoustic telemetry for conservation.

New research on #AcousticTelemetry, sharks & windfarms 🦈🌬️

Lesser spotted dogfish showed high site fidelity, returning to the windfarm after a few weeks of absence, suggesting that the habitat at this site is suitable for the species 🌊

Here's my take on a Linux wrapper for Innovasea's Fathom Connect software. Seems to work fine on Ubuntu 24.04 for converting vdat files to csv.

Shout out to @obrien.page for discovering that Fathom Connect works in wine.
