🚨Research alert!
Maximizing power and performance in noisy environments is a key challenge in acoustic tracking. Our newly published white paper at Sydney Harbor with @IMOS_AUS shows that adding just one NexTrak R1 receiver to an existing array significantly boosts efficiency, offering greater range and more detections.

For more results and range testing best practices, check out the full paper: https://t.co/zb1rOdkhPE

Have you ever wondered what the long-term effects of tagging fishes are? We've collated peer-reviewed literature and anecdotal information to answer this question: https://t.co/Q4ybgLlmMq
In @FishFishJournal led by @JK_Matley

[Fabrice Jaine @FabriceJaine]

🚨New paper led by @JK_Matley & @natklinard. We reviewed 149 acoustic, radio, satellite, and archival tagging studies + anecdotal accounts from 36 researchers to discuss the long-term effects of tagging aquatic animals with electronic transmitters. https://t.co/AdU2idiaS6

Hot off the press: What are the benefits of collaboration for acoustic tracking arrays? Queensland has drastically increased their acoustic coverage. Led by #AdamBarnett @BiopixelTV https://t.co/hahWdSinqA

[Sydney Institute of Marine Science @SIMS_Australia]

We are thrilled to share that we've secured $1.93 million from the State Govt's NCRIS Support Program. This funding will expand @IMOS_Aus's NSW Node based at SIMS, enhancing Australia's coastal monitoring capabilities & addressing critical data gaps.

Stay tuned for more!

Update from @IMOSAnimalTrack 🦈 🐠
Our latest Narooma line servicing revealed 6,960 new detections of sharks, rays, & fish! This amounts to 69,949 detections recorded in the region since 2012.

Dive into the data on the AODN portal: https://t.co/GYRTiHAgWN

[Sydney Institute of Marine Science @SIMS_Australia]

Back from Narooma, the @IMOSAnimalTrack team has updated our acoustic receiver line, part of a national network tracking animals since 2012.

All nine stations are now serviced, enriching the AODN portal with new data. Check out who stopped by: https://t.co/GYRTiHAgWN 🐠📡

Fantastic to see the {remora} R package being used for a variety of important ecological applications!

For more information about {remora}: https://t.co/ft7Ps9ToGh

[Fabrice Jaine @FabriceJaine]

Another new publication by Hayden Schilling et al making use of the @IMOS_AUS {remora} R package to investigate links between regional oceanography and the risk of whale entanglements in fishing gear off New South Wales. https://t.co/HyMP95ZQHw

[Rob Harcourt @RobHarcourt]

I love how snow petrels always come & flutter around you while you walk over the sea ice- like a good omen- congrats to @BM_Viola for this elegant study with data from GLS tags from the early @IMOS_AUS tagging days- so important to publish tracking data!

[IMOS Animal Tracking @IMOSAnimalTrack]

The {remora} R package enables robust quality control and interactive visualisation of acoustic telemetry datasets, as well as the rapid extraction and integration of oceanographic measurements with spatiotemporal ecological data. https://t.co/ft7Ps9ToGh

[IMOS Animal Tracking @IMOSAnimalTrack]

Hot off the Press 📢 Tom Clarke et al. used the {remora} R package to identify environmental drivers of activity in acoustically-tagged yellowtail kingfish, as well as connectivity across fisheries management jurisdictions via the @IMOSAnimalTrack network. https://t.co/vid9ShPlO4
