It's not Christmas just yet, but there's already something special under the tree from the Innovasea fish tracking team. 🎁🎄 Any guesses as to what's inside?

We had all the seasons this week for receiver downloading in Tampa Bay, Terra Ceia Bay, and Manatee River. Felt really bad for the divers on the cold days, but we got some exciting new data for our sawfish, shark, and cownose ray tracking studies!

News! The European Tracking Network just logged its 1,000,000,000th detection! 🎉🐟
Since GPS doesn’t work underwater, telemetry is a key to help us understanding fish movements, essential for conservation and management.
Huge thanks to everyone uploading data - great teamwork! 🌊
#trackingnotslacking

At ETN, researchers use telemetry to understand how animals move across different spatial and temporal scales, guiding the establishment of marine protected areas and the adjustment of fishing regulations.

Two great days this week tagging skate in the Bristol Channel - we managed to catch + tag individuals across four species of skate 🥳 These skate will be tracked for the next few years across our channel-wide array so we can learn about their movement patterns and spatial usage #trackingnotslacking

We've been out popping up acoustic release receivers for fine-scale positioning of thornback rays in our beautiful fjords. Several million detections to work with over the past year! Read more here: www.bergentelemetry.com/post/a-year-...

Rainbow smelt are important diadromous fish! Acoustic telemetry was used to track their movements during after spawning as they use estuaries and emigrate to the coast in New Hampshire #JFB #fishsci #TrackingNotSlacking

As you can see, things are complakeated, but researchers from all over the world are working to keep lakes thriving.

Happy #WorldBiodiversityDay! 🎣 To celebrate, we dove into 2024 data - 60 fish species across 36 families were tagged & uploaded to the ETN database! 🐟🦈

These animals will help reveal migration & habitat patterns across Europe & beyond🌍

We also monitor invasive species in European waters, including the Atlantic blue crab—native to the western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico—and the Chinese mitten crab, originally from East Asia. 🦀
#WorldEndangeredSpeciesDay #AquaticTracking #TrackingNotSlacking

Currently, there are 837 tagged tunas in the ETN database, of which 794 have an active tag. The longest time between release and latest detection has been 1673 days - that's over 4.5 years! 😍

Recommend #acoustictelemetry users check out James's new paper! Getting accurate positions can be a big challenge - and having accurate positions affects later analyses and conclusions. James's work is making a big difference here! #trackingnotslacking
