POST envisioned the eventual creation of a permanent continental-scale telemetry system, however, during its existence more limited pilot-scale arrays were deployed, primarily concentrated in the Pacific Northwest. These included several acoustic receiver curtains between Vancouver Island and the mainland, creating an excellent means by which to monitor coastal marine animal migrations, especially by juvenile salmonids (smolts) migrating to sea (see projects QCS, JDF and NSOG). In addition to arrays on the continental shelf, POST equipment was deployed upstream and in the estuaries of several major salmon-producing rivers.  POST arrays, and POST data, were incorporated into the OTN in 2012.

In spring 2010, 200 2-yr old juveniles were captured as they initiated their smolt outmigration and surgically implanted with acoustic transmitters. Sentinel acoustic receivers situated near the release site and in the lower Fraser River, and acoustic curtains associated with POST were used to determine travel rates and locales and levels of mortality.  Preliminary results indicate that smolts travelled at ~ 1-2 km/h during the initial sections of their migration through turbulent and clear water environments, and final sections, which were turbid and tidally influenced, of the freshwater migration. But they travelled ~ 5 km/h through the expansive fast flowing sections in between. Diel patterns were evident. On average fish reached the ocean in ~ 8 days with a range of 5-17 days among fish. Survival to reach the estuary is estimated at 20-30% and 15-20% to reach the first POST acoustic curtain situated in Northern Strait of Georgia about 180 km from the Fraser River mouth. We await the downloads of the other POST acoustic curtains to assess survival beyond this first acoustic receiver curtain. Of concern is that at present, POST does not have the funding available to download all of its Canadian curtains (e.g. the Queen Charlotte Strait line) and it is unclear when or if this will happen.","intellectualrights":"This work is licensed under a  Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0

POST envisioned the eventual creation of a permanent continental-scale telemetry system, however, during its existence more limited pilot-scale arrays were deployed, primarily concentrated in the Pacific Northwest. These included several acoustic receiver curtains between Vancouver Island and the mainland, creating an excellent means by which to monitor coastal marine animal migrations, especially by juvenile salmonids (smolts) migrating to sea (see projects QCS, JDF and NSOG). In addition to arrays on the continental shelf, POST equipment was deployed upstream and in the estuaries of several major salmon-producing rivers.  POST arrays, and POST data, were incorporated into the OTN in 2012. The integration of these arrays, their equipment and the associated animal tagging projects into OTN's global network allowed for international, widespread monitoring of important species within the Northeast Pacific Ocean. Tracking data generated from the POST arrays can be applied to the development of fishery management policies aimed at the sustainable harvest of resources, and to the understanding and conservation of other marine and diadromous species.

An acoustic receivers network is placed yearly (from April to December) across various passageways, locations of project-specific interest, and at aquaculture sites in the region. Tagged pelagic species will be tracked through the network to provide information on migration routes, movement speed, survival rates and suspected predators, and determine interaction and residence at aquaculture sites. The network was utilized for monitoring the passage of: hatchery-reared wild salmon (n=340) released in the Magaguadavic River in 2018, 2019 and 2021, wild alewives (n=30) from the St. Croix River in 2021, and farmed Atlantic salmon released in the wild (n=99) in 2021. The receiver network has more recently supported adjacent projects on the use of the region by white shark and porbeagle as well as the residence of mackerel, herring, and sculpin at farm sites. The receivers additionally support other researchers with detection of striped bass, Inner Bay of Fundy Atlantic salmon, sturgeon, and many other species. Placement of the network will continue into 2025 inclusive with the longer-term goal to eventually deploy an array covering the entrance to the Bay of Fundy.  ##### Le projet (Quoddy Region Pelagics Telemetry) soutiendra l'évaluation des effets de l'aquaculture sur la distribution et l'abondance des poissons pélagiques (saumon, maquereau, hareng) et des grands prédateurs (requin, mammifères marins) dans l'extérieur de la baie de Passamaquoddy et la baie de Fundy, une zone de pisciculture intense. Un réseau de récepteurs acoustiques est placé chaque année (d'avril à décembre) dans divers passages, emplacements d'intérêt spécifique au projet et sur des sites d'aquaculture de la région. Les espèces pélagiques marquées seront suivies à travers le réseau pour fournir des informations sur les voies de migration, la vitesse de déplacement, les taux de survie et les prédateurs présumés, et déterminer l'interaction et la résidence aux sites d'aquaculture. Le réseau a été utilisé pour déterminer le passage de : saumons d'écloserie (n = 340) relâchés dans la rivière Magaguadavic en 2018, 2019 et 2021, gaspareaux sauvages (n = 30) de la rivière Sainte-Croix en 2021 et saumons atlantiques d'aquaculture relâchés en milieu naturel (n=99) en 2021. Plus récemment, le réseau receveur a soutenu des projets adjacents sur l'utilisation de la région par le requin blanc et la maraîche ainsi que la résidence du maquereau, du hareng et du chabot sur les sites d'élevage. Les récepteurs aident également d'autres chercheurs à détecter le bar rayé, le saumon de l'intérieur de la baie de Fundy, l'esturgeon et de nombreuses autres espèces. Le placement du réseau se poursuivra jusqu'en 2025 inclusivement avec l'objectif à plus long terme de déployer un réseau couvrant l'embouchure de la baie de Fundy.</p>\n        ","intellectualrights":"This work is licensed under a  Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 License","feed":{"id":"484069ae-da92-43bc-835b-86ed774b95c6","url":"https://oceantrack.org/ipt/rss.do","website":"https://oceantrack.org/ipt","active":true},"institutes":[{"name":"Ocean Tracking Network","oceanexpert_id":18704,"oceanexpert_parent_id":null}],"contacts":[{"role":null,"type":"creator","givenname":"Ocean Tracking Network","surname":"Data Centre","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":"https://members.oceantrack.org","organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Creator"},{"role":null,"type":"contact","givenname":"Ocean Tracking Network","surname":"Data Centre","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":"http://members.oceantrack.org","organization_oceanexpert_id":18704,"type_display":"Contact"},{"role":null,"type":"metadataProvider","givenname":"Jonathan","surname":"Pye","organization":"OTN","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Metadata Provider"},{"role":"principalInvestigator","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Marc","surname":"Trudel","organization":"Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada","position":null,"email":"marc.trudel@dfo-mpo.gc.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Principal Investigator"},{"role":"custodianSteward","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Peter","surname":"Kraska","organization":"Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada","position":null,"email":"peter.kraska@dfo-mpo.gc.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Custodian Steward"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Matt","surname":"Black","organization":"Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada","position":null,"email":"matthew.black@dfo-mpo.gc.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Brent","surname":"Wilson","organization":"Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada","position":null,"email":"brent.wilson@dfo-mpo.gc.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Marie-France","surname":"Lavoie","organization":"Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada","position":null,"email":"marie-france.lavoie@dfo-mpo.gc.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Brady","surname":"Quinn","organization":"Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada","position":null,"email":"brady.quinn@dfo-mpo.gc.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Alanah","surname":"Bartlett","organization":"Fort Folly Habitat Recovery","position":null,"email":"alanah@ffhr.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"C.

These data were collected as part of the International Year of the Salmon (IYS) High Seas Expedition conducted in March and April 2020, to further improve the understanding of factors impacting salmon marine winter survival. Trawl sets were conducted using a research trawl net with a 3 mm codend mesh size. A total of 52 tows were conducted, and for each tow the total species-specific weight and catch numbers were recorded. This dataset only contains data on salmonids and larger bycatch species that have been identified to a species level and verified by the data provider. A total of 566 salmon were caught in 29 out of 52 trawl sets, including 234 Chum Salmon, 118 Coho Salmon, 51 Sockeye Salmon, 136 Pink Salmon, 26 Chinook Salmon and 1 Steelhead Trout. All salmon were identified to species level, fitted with a floy tag on the caudal peduncle (to identify the specimen) and measured for fork length, standard length and weight. Where possible, sex and maturation stage are recorded. Larger bycatch species are enumerated, and their length (fork, total, standard, mantle or bell diameter), wet weight, sex and maturation stage (where possible) is recorded.","intellectualrights":"This

Here we present the database and quality control procedures developed to collate 67 million valid detections from 1891 receiving stations. This dataset consists of detection data for 7800 tags deployed on 154 species (fish, sharks, rays, reptiles, and mammals), with distances traveled ranging from a few to thousands of kilometres. This dataset of acoustic detections constitutes a valuable resource facilitating meta-analysis of animal movement, distributions, and habitat use, and is important for relating species distribution shifts with environmental covariates.\nThis copy of the IMOS ATF data is of the valid detections downloaded via the IMOS Animal Tracking Portal at https://animaltracking.aodn.org.au/detection. This dataset has been summarized by reducing the detection records to the count of detections per animal per site per day (UTC). The DwC field organismId has been used to record the transmitter serial number. The initial deployment/release of the animal has also been added to the dataset via EMoF using an occurrenceId of the transmitter tag with a postfix of '-release'.

Fish assemblages were primarily depth-stratified, with distinct suites of species inhabiting shallow (&lt;30 m depth) and upper (60 m) and lower (90 m) mesophotic coral ecosystems, and confirming the presence of a distinct rariphotic (∼150–300 m) assemblage. We also report evidence of anthropogenic pressures throughout our surveyed depths. Our results highlight the novelty of deeper reef fish faunas, therefore suggesting limited applicability of the deep reef refuge hypothesis, and showcase the vulnerability of deep reefs to targeted fishing pressure and invasive species.”\nStefanoudis, P.V., Gress, E., Pitt, J.M., Smith, S.R., Kincaid, T., Rivers, M., Andradi-Brown, D.A., Rowlands, G., Woodall, L.C. and Rogers, A.D., 2019.

Investigating how coral reefs ecosystems are connected, in particular across depth, will help us understand if deeper reefs harbour distinct communities. Here, we explore changes in benthic community structure across 15–300 m depths using technical divers and submersibles around Bermuda. We report high levels of floral and faunal differentiation across depth, with distinct assemblages occupying each depth surveyed, except 200–300 m, corresponding to the lower rariphotic zone. Community turnover was highest at the boundary depths of mesophotic coral ecosystems (30–150 m) driven largely by taxonomic turnover and to a lesser degree by ordered species loss (nestedness). Our work highlights the biologically unique nature of benthic communities in the mesophotic and rariphotic zones, and their limited connectivity to shallow reefs, thus emphasizing the need to manage and protect deeper reefs as distinct entities.”\nStefanoudis, P.V., Rivers, M., Smith, S.R., Schneider, C.W., Wagner, D., Ford, H., Rogers, A.D. and Woodall, L.C., 2019.

In total 161 female individuals of European eel (<i>Anguilla anguilla</i>) and 134 (hatched) smolts of Atlantic salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i>) were captured, tagged and released between 2013 and 2017, to study the effect of shipping locks and hydropower plants on their downstream migration in the Albert canal.</p><p>Navigation locks play an important role for ship navigation on canals and other regulated waterways worldwide. Unfortunately, these structures may severely impact the aquatic ecosystem and freshwater fish in particular. In Belgium (Europe), the Albert canal connecting the Meuse river to the Scheldt river, is an important migration route for European eel (critically endangered) and Atlantic salmon (vulnerable). During their downstream migration these fish are hampered by six subsequent navigation lock complexes present in the canal. Three of which are by-passed by a small channel leading to a hydropower plant with large Archimedes screw turbines. In the coming years, three more such hydropower plants are to be installed next to three of six ship lock complexes. The Archimedes screws function both as pump and turbine (hydropower generator). Two dimensional fine scale positioning, as well as impact assessment through assessment of fish injury and mortality at the Archimedes screws, was performed to better understand the overall impact of these anthropogenic structures on diadromous fish, such as eel and salmon.</p><p>This dataset was collected using infrastructure provided by VLIZ and INBO funded by the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) as part of the Belgian contribution to LifeWatch.

Although several potential causes have been proposed, there has been little conclusive evidence for which factors are responsible or not responsible for these declines. We experimen- tally addressed the hypothesis that exposure of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch or sockeye salmon O. nerka to solar ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB) during freshwater rearing of fry and parr life-history stages increases mortality at the time of smoltification and ocean entry. Juvenile coho and sockeye salmon were reared in outdoor hatchery tanks either exposed to full spectrum sun- light or shielded from UVB radiation by plastic screens for up to 9 mo prior to release. Smolts were tagged with acoustic transmitters and detected with hydrophone receivers during their downriver and early ocean migration. Survival of treatment groups was compared using Cormack-Jolly- Seber and Burnham mark-recapture models. While exposure to UVB resulted in decreased growth of juvenile coho salmon, survivorship during the early marine period was unaffected by the UVB treatment for both populations. This first attempt to experimentally address the hypo - thesis of impaired survival resulting from solar UVB radiation has shown that other factors are more likely responsible for observed declines in salmon marine survival rates.

POST envisioned the eventual creation of a permanent continental-scale telemetry system, however, during its existence more limited pilot-scale arrays were deployed, primarily concentrated in the Pacific Northwest. These included several acoustic receiver curtains between Vancouver Island and the mainland, creating an excellent means by which to monitor coastal marine animal migrations, especially by juvenile salmonids (smolts) migrating to sea (see projects QCS, JDF and NSOG). In addition to arrays on the continental shelf, POST equipment was deployed upstream and in the estuaries of several major salmon-producing rivers.  POST arrays, and POST data, were incorporated into the OTN in 2012. The integration of these arrays, their equipment and the associated animal tagging projects into OTN's global network allowed for international, widespread monitoring of important species within the Northeast Pacific Ocean. Tracking data generated from the POST arrays can be applied to the development of fishery management policies aimed at the sustainable harvest of resources, and to the understanding and conservation of other marine and diadromous species. Additional details about specific tracking projects which were originally a part of POST are only available by contacting the associated researcher.</p>\n        ","intellectualrights":"This work is licensed under a  Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 License","feed":{"id":"484069ae-da92-43bc-835b-86ed774b95c6","url":"https://oceantrack.org/ipt/rss.do","website":"https://oceantrack.org/ipt","active":true},"institutes":[{"name":"Oregon State University","oceanexpert_id":13818,"oceanexpert_parent_id":null},{"name":"Ocean Tracking Network","oceanexpert_id":18704,"oceanexpert_parent_id":null}],"contacts":[{"role":null,"type":"creator","givenname":"Ocean Tracking Network","surname":"Data Centre","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":"https://members.oceantrack.org","organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Creator"},{"role":null,"type":"contact","givenname":"Ocean Tracking Network","surname":"Data Centre","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":"http://members.oceantrack.org","organization_oceanexpert_id":18704,"type_display":"Contact"},{"role":null,"type":"metadataProvider","givenname":"Jonathan","surname":"Pye","organization":"OTN","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Metadata Provider"},{"role":"principalInvestigator","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"David","surname":"Noakes","organization":"Oregon State University","position":null,"email":"david.noakes@oregonstate.edu","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Principal Investigator"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"David","surname":"Welch","organization":"Kintama Research Services","position":null,"email":"david.welch@kintama.com","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"principalInvestigator","type":"personnel","givenname":"David","surname":"Noakes","organization":"Oregon State University","position":null,"email":null,"url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":13818,"type_display":"Principal Investigator"}],"nodes":[{"id":"68f83ea7-69a7-44fd-be77-3c3afd6f3cf8","name":"OTN-OBIS"}],"keywords":[{"keyword":"ACOUSTIC TAGS","thesaurus":"n/a"},{"keyword":"EARTH SCIENCE &gt; BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION &gt; ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES &gt; FISH","thesaurus":"Global Change Master Directory (GCMD)"},{"keyword":"Occurrence","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Type Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_type.xml"},{"keyword":"Observation","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Subtype Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_subtype.xml"},{"keyword":"Samplingevent","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Type Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_type_2015-07-10.xml"}],"downloads":[{"year":2026,"downloads":212,"records":788660},{"year":2025,"downloads":2414,"records":9189706},{"year":2024,"downloads":3211,"records":12494516},{"year":2023,"downloads":2629,"records":3156748},{"year":2022,"downloads":1773,"records":291651},{"year":2021,"downloads":175,"records":28700}],"tags":null,"disable_extensions":null,"records":164},{"id":"8a5040ba-4284-4146-a727-30375d243846","url":"https://members.oceantrack.org/ipt/resource?r=otndalspg-atlanticsalmonm","archive":"https://members.oceantrack.org/ipt/archive.do?r=otndalspg-atlanticsalmonm","published":"2025-11-05T20:58:04.000Z","created":"2023-09-22T17:22:39.799Z","updated":"2025-11-07T22:46:09.540Z","core":"event","extensions":["measurementorfact","occurrence"],"statistics":{"Event":6699,"absence":0,"dropped":0,"Occurrence":6212,"DNADerivedData":0,"MeasurementOrFact":948},"extent":"POLYGON((-67.38 46.33,-56.578 46.33,-56.578 51.51897,-67.38 51.51897,-67.38 46.33))","title":"SPG - Atlantic salmon migration, survival and disease","citation":"Crossin, G., Bailey, M., Hutchings, J, Whoriskey, F. 2019.

However, many populations have been severely decreasing since the 1980s, leading to an endangered listing for many populations by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). Currently, the greatest impacts to their survival have been linked to juvenile survival upon entry into the marine environment. In this Strategic Partnership Grant proposal, we will use acoustic telemetry and cutting edge genomic techniques to address several strategic issues. Firstly, with our partners at Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and at the Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF), we will examine the role of naturally occurring pathogens in mediating the migration behaviour and mortality of juvenile salmon in populations throughout the Maritimes, Quebec, and Newfoundland &amp; Labrador. Secondly, we will examine the interactions of wild salmon with aquaculture net-pens throughout the region by quantifying residency patterns, migration pathways, and mortality near net-pens. In parallel, we will characterize pathogen profiles in water samples collected near net-pens, and by opportunistically sampling net-pen escapees, which are frequently caught in a fish-ladder on a river in New Brunswick, we will compare disease profiles of aquaculture and wild salmon in the same river. Thirdly, we will examine the effects of hatchery rearing on the behaviour and survival of juveniles salmon. Hatchery rearing is commonly used for salmon supplementation, and by comparing hatchery and wild fish in the same river, we will explore whether hatchery fish have different susceptibilities to pathogens and altered migration behaviour. Ultimately, we will use the data that we collect from these studies to develop models that examine the degree to which mortality can be explained by aquaculture and/or hatchery operations versus natural environmental variation, and whether these are actually preventing the recovery of Atlantic salmon populations. These issues are of paramount importance to DFO and ASF, given that the Species at Risk Act stipulates that recovery strategies must address the threats identified by COSEWIC.","intellectualrights":"This work is licensed under a  Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0

In total 136 female individuals of European eel (<i>Anguilla anguilla</i>) were captured, tagged and released between 2015 and 2018 in the Scheldt estuary, to study their migration behaviour - especially their use of selective tidal stream transport - in a tidal system without migration barriers.</p><p>Large estuaries with a complete salinity gradient from a tidal freshwater zone to marine have become rare due to water regulating constructions such as sluices, shipping locks, water pumping stations and dams. However, the Scheldt estuary in Belgium still has an extensive estuary of ca 160 km. Diadromous fish have to overcome substantial distances which come with a high energetic cost. Due to the high energetic cost of migration and the low adult survival, some of these species have developed semelparity. Consequently, a bioenergetic trade-off between migration and reproduction may exist for semelparous fish species, especially since many will stop feeding during migration: the smaller the energy expenditure during migration, the larger the amount of energy that may remain available for gonad maturation. An example where migration can have important bioenergetic repercussions is migration through strong tidal systems. To reduce energy loss in such systems, fish may perform selective tidal stream transport (STST): an animal ascends into the water column with the appropriate tide and rests on or in the bottom during the opposite tide. However, the use of STST by silver European eels is still controversial. In this study, we found strong evidence that silver European eels apply STST. The results illustrate that eels can distinguish between ebb and flood and suggest that tides play a role in orientation, either directly or indirectly. The general migration speed was higher in the downstream part of the estuary compared to the upstream part, while tidal migration speed was equal in both parts, indicating that eels migrated more consistently in the downstream part. The results of this study give insight in how a diadromous species migrates through an estuary and underline the importance of the tides.</p><p>This dataset was collected using infrastructure provided by VLIZ and INBO funded by the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) as part of the Belgian contribution to LifeWatch.</p><p>Data have been standardized to Darwin Core using the <a href=\"https://inbo.github.io/etn/\">etn</a> package and are downsampled to the first detection per hour.

POST envisioned the eventual creation of a permanent continental-scale telemetry system, however, during its existence more limited pilot-scale arrays were deployed, primarily concentrated in the Pacific Northwest. These included several acoustic receiver curtains between Vancouver Island and the mainland, creating an excellent means by which to monitor coastal marine animal migrations, especially by juvenile salmonids (smolts) migrating to sea (see projects QCS, JDF and NSOG). In addition to arrays on the continental shelf, POST equipment was deployed upstream and in the estuaries of several major salmon-producing rivers.  POST arrays, and POST data, were incorporated into the OTN in 2012. The integration of these arrays, their equipment and the associated animal tagging projects into OTN's global network allowed for international, widespread monitoring of important species within the Northeast Pacific Ocean. Tracking data generated from the POST arrays can be applied to the development of fishery management policies aimed at the sustainable harvest of resources, and to the understanding and conservation of other marine and diadromous species. Additional details about specific tracking projects which were originally a part of POST are only available by contacting the associated researcher.","intellectualrights":"This work is licensed under a  Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 License","feed":{"id":"484069ae-da92-43bc-835b-86ed774b95c6","url":"https://oceantrack.org/ipt/rss.do","website":"https://oceantrack.org/ipt","active":true},"institutes":[{"name":"Ocean Tracking Network","oceanexpert_id":18704,"oceanexpert_parent_id":null}],"contacts":[{"role":null,"type":"creator","givenname":"Ocean Tracking Network","surname":"Data Centre","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":"https://members.oceantrack.org","organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Creator"},{"role":null,"type":"contact","givenname":"Ocean Tracking Network","surname":"Data Centre","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":"http://members.oceantrack.org","organization_oceanexpert_id":18704,"type_display":"Contact"},{"role":null,"type":"metadataProvider","givenname":"Jonathan","surname":"Pye","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"jonathan.pye@dal.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Metadata Provider"},{"role":"principalInvestigator","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"David","surname":"Hering","organization":"Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife","position":null,"email":"david_hering@nps.gov","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Principal Investigator"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"David","surname":"Welch","organization":"Kintama Research Services","position":null,"email":"david.welch@kintama.com","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"principalInvestigator","type":"personnel","givenname":"David","surname":"Hering","organization":null,"position":null,"email":null,"url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Principal Investigator"}],"nodes":[{"id":"68f83ea7-69a7-44fd-be77-3c3afd6f3cf8","name":"OTN-OBIS"}],"keywords":[{"keyword":"ACOUSTIC TAGS","thesaurus":"n/a"},{"keyword":"EARTH SCIENCE &gt; BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION &gt; ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES &gt; FISH","thesaurus":"Global Change Master Directory (GCMD)"},{"keyword":"Occurrence","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Type Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_type.xml"},{"keyword":"Observation","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Subtype Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_subtype.xml"},{"keyword":"Samplingevent","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Type Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_type_2015-07-10.xml"}],"downloads":[{"year":2026,"downloads":166,"records":79895},{"year":2025,"downloads":2334,"records":1144264},{"year":2024,"downloads":3165,"records":1576424},{"year":2023,"downloads":2417,"records":536721},{"year":2022,"downloads":1731,"records":186822},{"year":2021,"downloads":176,"records":18832}],"tags":null,"disable_extensions":null,"records":107},{"id":"f3f5f40c-de45-4f03-b8d7-a4600ae33211","url":"https://ipt.inbo.be/resource?r=2012_leopoldkanaal","archive":"https://ipt.inbo.be/archive.do?r=2012_leopoldkanaal","published":"2026-06-08T14:03:40.000Z","created":"2024-09-25T09:15:29.510Z","updated":"2026-06-08T14:27:27.119Z","core":"occurrence","extensions":["measurementorfact"],"statistics":{"Event":0,"absence":0,"dropped":2,"Occurrence":110734,"DNADerivedData":0,"MeasurementOrFact":208},"extent":"POLYGON((2.917725 51.2396828,8.9453 51.2396828,8.9453 58.59352,2.917725 58.59352,2.917725 51.2396828))","title":"2012_LEOPOLDKANAAL - Acoustic telemetry data for European eel (Anguilla anguilla) in a polder area in Flanders (Belgium)","citation":"Verhelst P, Buysse D, Baeyens R, De Maerteleire N, Desmet P, Gelaude E, Jacobs Y, Milotic T, Mouton A, Reyserhove L, Robberechts K, Coeck J (2026). 2012_LEOPOLDKANAAL - Acoustic telemetry data for European eel (Anguilla anguilla) in a polder area in Flanders (Belgium).

In total 104 female individuals of European eel (<i>Anguilla anguilla</i>) were captured, tagged and released in 2011 and 2012, to study their movement behaviour during the yellow eel stage and migration behaviour during the silver eel stage for 4 years in Meetjesland, a polder area in Flanders, Belgium.</p><p>Polder areas are lowland systems below sea level that are drained for agricultural and urbanization purposes. Hence, they are characterised by water regulating structures such as dykes, water pumping stations and weirs. They are characterised by a network of canals, connected ponds and ditches, resulting in a high habitat diversity and thus many potential growth areas. When the water level rises beyond a certain threshold during precipitation events, water is pumped from the polder area into the sea to maintain a specific water level. Not only does this result in irregular water flows, water pumping stations have already shown to negatively affect fish passing through them by various injuries and mortalities. In this tracking study, we investigated the movement and ranging behaviour of resident, yellow eels to understand their spatio-temporal habitat use in the polder. Second, we analysed what routes migrating silver eels take, what environmental factors influence this migration and to what extent they are delayed by the migration barriers.</p><p>This dataset was collected using infrastructure provided by VLIZ and INBO funded by the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) as part of the Belgian contribution to LifeWatch.

We conducted a small acoustic telemetry pilot study on 100 Chilko River Chinook that were reared at Chehalis Hatchery B.C. and then transported and released into the Chilko River.  The project goals were to estimate freshwater survival, investigate residence timing in the Strait of Georgia, and begin to investigate early marine survival. Because marine acoustic receiver arrays capable of detecting smolts implanted with small 180 kHz acoustic tags only monitor the northern exit from the Strait of Georgia, residence time and early marine survival could only be potentially estimated if smolts migrated north before tag batteries expired five months after ocean entry. Freshwater survival of acoustic-tagged Chinook to the Fraser River mouth (49%) was comparable to other populations or species which migrate the same distance downstream; however, their downstream migration rate 18 km/day) was dramatically slower than that of wild Chilko Lake sockeye, which migrate rapidly to the ocean after exit from Chilko Lake (100-170 km/day). It is unknown whether this behavioural difference is the result of their hatchery origin and transport to Chilko Lake. Only one fish was detected in the Strait of Georgia and none were detected exiting. Combined with the results from trawl surveys, the complete lack of detections in the Discovery Islands and Johnstone Strait suggest that Chilko Chinook do not migrate directly north after river exit. Instead, they likely remain in the Strait of Georgia for at least several months. It is unclear if smolts eventually exited the Strait via the southern route, died during their summer residence, or simply ceased migration to take up residence. An animation of the movements of the Chilko Lake Chinook smolts released in 2016 is available on our website (http://kintama.com/visualizations/).","intellectualrights":"This work is licensed under a  Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 License","feed":{"id":"484069ae-da92-43bc-835b-86ed774b95c6","url":"https://oceantrack.org/ipt/rss.do","website":"https://oceantrack.org/ipt","active":true},"institutes":[{"name":"Ocean Tracking Network","oceanexpert_id":18704,"oceanexpert_parent_id":null}],"contacts":[{"role":null,"type":"creator","givenname":"Ocean Tracking Network","surname":"Data Centre","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":"https://members.oceantrack.org","organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Creator"},{"role":null,"type":"contact","givenname":"Ocean Tracking Network","surname":"Data Centre","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":"http://members.oceantrack.org","organization_oceanexpert_id":18704,"type_display":"Contact"},{"role":null,"type":"metadataProvider","givenname":"Jonathan","surname":"Pye","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"jonathan.pye@dal.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Metadata Provider"},{"role":"principalInvestigator","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"David","surname":"Welch","organization":"Kintama Research Services","position":null,"email":"david.welch@kintama.com","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Principal Investigator"},{"role":"custodianSteward","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Aswea","surname":"Porter","organization":"Kintama Research Services","position":null,"email":"aswea.porter@kintama.com","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Custodian Steward"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Tony","surname":"Farrell","organization":"University of British Columbia","position":null,"email":"farrellt@interchange.ubc.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Dave","surname":"Patterson","organization":"Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada","position":null,"email":"pattersond@pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Scott","surname":"Hinch","organization":"University of British Columbia","position":null,"email":"scott.hinch@ubc.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Fred","surname":"Whoriskey","organization":"Dalhousie University","position":null,"email":"fwhoriskey@dal.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Steven","surname":"Cooke","organization":"Carleton University","position":null,"email":"steven.cooke@carleton.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"principalInvestigator","type":"personnel","givenname":"David","surname":"Welch","organization":"Kintama Research Services Ltd","position":null,"email":null,"url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Principal Investigator"}],"nodes":[{"id":"68f83ea7-69a7-44fd-be77-3c3afd6f3cf8","name":"OTN-OBIS"}],"keywords":[{"keyword":"ACOUSTIC TAGS","thesaurus":"n/a"},{"keyword":"EARTH SCIENCE &gt;

The intent is to fully instrument the sites of exchange between the major river catchements of the watershed and the estuary, the channels linking the major basins of the estuary, and all channels of exchange between the estuary and the surrounding ocean. Motile anadromous, catadromous, and marine species of significance (e.g., Atlantic salmon, American eel, Atlantic cod) will be acoustic tagged in rivers, bays, banks, and basins of the Bras d'Or to track their movements within the estuary and its watershed, and between the estuary and the surrounding OTN arenas of the NW Atlantic Ocean.  The Bras d'Or Lakes Array will be located throughout the Bras d'Or estuary, including all channels connecting the estuarine waters to those of the surrounding ocean, the channels connecting the major basins of the estuary, and the mouths of the main rivers flowing into the estuary. The initial array is composed of 15 stations.

BoF Striped Bass support economically and culturally significant indigenous food fisheries and a large recreational angling fishery. The effects of these fisheries on population status are difficult to assess because of data deficiencies concerning removal rates. This principal objective of this project is to monitor inter-annual total mortality (Z) of striped bass that are &gt; the minimum legal retention size of 68 cm Total Length and to relate the annual rates of annual recruitments as estimated from young-of-the-year abundance surveys and fishery-independent indices of number at age. Acoustic tags with expected operational times exceeding 6 years are used to track individual fish through several spawning and over-wintering cycles. Hydrophones are deployed during April to July in the spawning areas in tidal waters and maintained through the calendar year in the non-tidal section of the Shubenacadie River to monitor annual returns to the spawning and wintering grounds respectively. The acoustic tags and hydrophone array are as well used to support a number of other research and monitoring initiatives including Striped Bass-Atlantic Salmon interactions, and American eel and Atlantic tomcod migration studies.","intellectualrights":"This work is licensed under a  Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0

The program, Deep Gulf of Mexico Benthos or DGoMB, is studying the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) continental slope from water depths of 300 meters on the upper continental slope out to greater than 3,000 meters water depth seaward of the base of the Sigsbee and Florida Escarpments. The study is focused on areas that are the most likely targets of future resource exploration and exploitation. However, to develop a Gulf-wide perspective of deep-sea communities, sampling in areas beyond those thought to be potential areas for exploration has been included in the study design. A major enhancement in the program is the extension of the transects onto the abyssal plain of the central Gulf of Mexico through collaborative studies with Mexican scientists. This additional work effort will allow assessment of benthic communities structure and function throughout the basin by sampling the deepest habitats in the region.\nThe program is designed to gain a better ability to predict variations in the structure and function of animal assemblages in relation to water depth, geographic location, time and overlying water mass. Biological studies are integrated with measurements of physical and chemical hydrographic parameters, sediment geochemical properties and geological characteristics that are known to influence benthic community distributions and dynamics. Eight (8) hypotheses are being tested on the basis of measures of benthic community structure. It is hypothesized that community structure varies as a function of: 1) water depth, 2) geographic location (east vs. west), 3) association with canyons, 4) association with mid-slope basins, 5) sea surface primary productivity, 6) proximity to hydrocarbon seeps, 7) time (seasonal and interannual scales), and 8) association with the base of escarpments.","intellectualrights":"This work is

Their migration was subsequently monitored using an array of automatic listening stations, and progression rate and mortality in the river, inner part of the fjord and outer part of the fjord were estimated.</p><p>Survival was high in fresh water. However, 60% of eels were lost in the inner and outer fjord, supporting the hypothesis that mortality is large in the early phase of the marine migration and that fishing may be a major cause of mortality of silver eels. There was no indication that the slowest-migrating individuals were more prone to fishing mortality than the faster-migrating individuals. Progression rate increased as the eels proceeded downriver and out of the fjord. The migration was predominantly nocturnal, both in the river and fjord. Based on the available evidence, a considerable increase in eel survival in the river–fjord system will be needed in order to fulfill the goals in the European Union recovery plan for eels.</p><p>Data have been standardized to Darwin Core using the <a href=\"https://inbo.github.io/etn/\">etn</a> package and are downsampled to the first detection per hour.

Of the 33 char acoustically tracked in 2009, 15 (45%) ventured beyond 10 km of either of the Armshow or Sylvia Grinnell river mouths and 9 (27%) were detected in both rivers’ estuaries. Marine mortality was estimated at 24.2% with 62.5% of the mortalities occurring within the Sylvia Grinnell River estuary. Assuming an emigration date of June 18th in both 2008 and 2009, marine migration duration was 46 to 78 days. Mean durations were 59±6 in 2008, 65±7 in 2009 and 63±7 days combined. Tracking revealed migrant movements into the intertidal zone with the flood and ebb of the tide. Most detections were in surface waters (0 to 3 m). Inter/sub-tidal movements and consecutive repetitive dives (maximum 52.8 m) resulted in extreme body temperature shifts (-0.2 to18.1oC). Approximately half of intertidal and subtidal detections were between 9 to13oC, and 1 to 3oC, respectively. Stomach contents and deep diving suggested feeding in both inter/sub-tidal zones. We suggest that char tolerate cold water at depth to capture prey in the subtidal zone, then seek warmer water to enhance feeding/digestion physiology.</p>\n        ","intellectualrights":"This work is licensed under a  Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 License","feed":{"id":"484069ae-da92-43bc-835b-86ed774b95c6","url":"https://oceantrack.org/ipt/rss.do","website":"https://oceantrack.org/ipt","active":true},"institutes":[{"name":"Ocean Tracking Network","oceanexpert_id":18704,"oceanexpert_parent_id":null}],"contacts":[{"role":null,"type":"creator","givenname":"Ocean Tracking Network","surname":"Data Centre","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":"https://members.oceantrack.org","organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Creator"},{"role":null,"type":"contact","givenname":"Ocean Tracking Network","surname":"Data Centre","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":"http://members.oceantrack.org","organization_oceanexpert_id":18704,"type_display":"Contact"},{"role":null,"type":"metadataProvider","givenname":"Jonathan","surname":"Pye","organization":"OTN","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Metadata Provider"},{"role":"principalInvestigator","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Aaron","surname":"Spares","organization":"Dalhousie University","position":null,"email":"ar592287@dal.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Principal Investigator"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Robert S.","surname":"Gregory","organization":"Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Centre","position":null,"email":"robert.gregory@dfo-mpo.gc.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"principalInvestigator","type":"personnel","givenname":"Aaron","surname":"Spares","organization":null,"position":null,"email":null,"url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Principal Investigator"}],"nodes":[{"id":"68f83ea7-69a7-44fd-be77-3c3afd6f3cf8","name":"OTN-OBIS"}],"keywords":[{"keyword":"ACOUSTIC TAGS","thesaurus":"n/a"},{"keyword":"EARTH SCIENCE &gt; BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION &gt; ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES &gt; FISH","thesaurus":"Global Change Master Directory (GCMD)"},{"keyword":"Occurrence","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Type Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_type.xml"},{"keyword":"Observation","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Subtype Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_subtype.xml"},{"keyword":"Samplingevent","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Type Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_type_2015-07-10.xml"}],"downloads":[{"year":2026,"downloads":173,"records":114097},{"year":2025,"downloads":2363,"records":1607927},{"year":2024,"downloads":3162,"records":2196400},{"year":2023,"downloads":2435,"records":605321},{"year":2022,"downloads":1760,"records":108255},{"year":2021,"downloads":185,"records":11285}],"tags":null,"disable_extensions":null,"records":61},{"id":"0291d647-fea2-4c10-a84f-149649e6f79c","url":"https://members.oceantrack.org/ipt/resource?r=otnkrskintamaresearchserv","archive":"https://members.oceantrack.org/ipt/archive.do?r=otnkrskintamaresearchserv","published":"2024-08-30T12:48:40.000Z","created":"2019-02-20T16:22:29.000Z","updated":"2025-11-09T21:49:11.666Z","core":"event","extensions":["measurementorfact","occurrence"],"statistics":{"Event":1165,"absence":0,"dropped":0,"Occurrence":897,"DNADerivedData":0,"MeasurementOrFact":250},"extent":"POLYGON((-127.48401 48.27411,-124.03596 48.27411,-124.03596 50.85885,-127.48401 50.85885,-127.48401 48.27411))","title":"Kintama Research Services: Seymour River steelhead smolts.","citation":"Welch, D, Rechisky, E, Porter, A. 2015.

The V9 transmitters allowed us to estimate early-marine survival through the northern Strait of Georgia and Discovery Islands, and provided a baseline estimate against which to evaluate the detection performance of the V4 transmitter (VEMCO’s newest, smallest transmitter). Cumulative survival over the ~170 km from release to Johnstone Strait was 46% (SE=7.0%).   Detection efficiency of the V4 was 74% (SE=10%) at the Discovery Island subarray compared to 100% for the V9 tags. Since the subarray was fully functional and the tags were operating within their warranted lifespan, we consider this to be a useful first estimate of what can be achieved with the V4 tags.An animation of the movements of the Seymour River steelhead smolts released in 2015 is available on our website (http://kintama.com/visualizations/).","intellectualrights":"This work is licensed under a  Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 License","feed":{"id":"484069ae-da92-43bc-835b-86ed774b95c6","url":"https://oceantrack.org/ipt/rss.do","website":"https://oceantrack.org/ipt","active":true},"institutes":[{"name":"Ocean Tracking Network","oceanexpert_id":18704,"oceanexpert_parent_id":null}],"contacts":[{"role":null,"type":"creator","givenname":"Ocean Tracking Network","surname":"Data Centre","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":"https://members.oceantrack.org","organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Creator"},{"role":null,"type":"contact","givenname":"Ocean Tracking Network","surname":"Data Centre","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":"http://members.oceantrack.org","organization_oceanexpert_id":18704,"type_display":"Contact"},{"role":null,"type":"metadataProvider","givenname":"Jonathan","surname":"Pye","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"jonathan.pye@dal.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Metadata Provider"},{"role":"principalInvestigator","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"David","surname":"Welch","organization":"Kintama Research Services","position":null,"email":"david.welch@kintama.com","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Principal Investigator"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Scott","surname":"Hinch","organization":"University of British Columbia","position":null,"email":"scott.hinch@ubc.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Fred","surname":"Whoriskey","organization":"Dalhousie University","position":null,"email":"fwhoriskey@dal.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"principalInvestigator","type":"personnel","givenname":"David","surname":"Welch","organization":"Kintama Research Services Ltd","position":null,"email":null,"url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Principal Investigator"}],"nodes":[{"id":"68f83ea7-69a7-44fd-be77-3c3afd6f3cf8","name":"OTN-OBIS"}],"keywords":[{"keyword":"ACOUSTIC TAGS","thesaurus":"n/a"},{"keyword":"EARTH SCIENCE &gt; BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION &gt; ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES &gt; FISH","thesaurus":"Global Change Master Directory (GCMD)"},{"keyword":"Occurrence","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Type Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_type.xml"},{"keyword":"Observation","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Subtype Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_subtype.xml"},{"keyword":"Samplingevent","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Type Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_type_2015-07-10.xml"}],"downloads":[{"year":2026,"downloads":204,"records":181883},{"year":2025,"downloads":2403,"records":2178811},{"year":2024,"downloads":3214,"records":2901124},{"year":2023,"downloads":2631,"records":755495},{"year":2022,"downloads":1775,"records":89500},{"year":2021,"downloads":215,"records":10750}],"tags":null,"disable_extensions":null,"records":50},{"id":"45f2f095-cd87-4b6c-8aea-06cc3a46d421","url":"https://members.oceantrack.org/ipt/resource?r=otndfobalfrytags","archive":"https://members.oceantrack.org/ipt/archive.do?r=otndfobalfrytags","published":"2025-11-06T22:28:08.000Z","created":"2019-02-20T16:23:24.000Z","updated":"2025-11-07T20:06:38.259Z","core":"event","extensions":["measurementorfact","occurrence"],"statistics":{"Event":186,"absence":0,"dropped":0,"Occurrence":88,"DNADerivedData":0,"MeasurementOrFact":80},"extent":"POLYGON((-127.48298 48.3479666666667,-123.233187 48.3479666666667,-123.233187 50.86918,-127.48298 50.86918,-127.48298 48.3479666666667))","title":"Balfry Tags","citation":"Balfry, Shannon.

POST envisioned the eventual creation of a permanent continental-scale telemetry system, however, during its existence more limited pilot-scale arrays were deployed, primarily concentrated in the Pacific Northwest. These included several acoustic receiver curtains between Vancouver Island and the mainland, creating an excellent means by which to monitor coastal marine animal migrations, especially by juvenile salmonids (smolts) migrating to sea (see projects QCS, JDF and NSOG). In addition to arrays on the continental shelf, POST equipment was deployed upstream and in the estuaries of several major salmon-producing rivers.  POST arrays, and POST data, were incorporated into the OTN in 2012. The integration of these arrays, their equipment and the associated animal tagging projects into OTN's global network allowed for international, widespread monitoring of important species within the Northeast Pacific Ocean. Tracking data generated from the POST arrays can be applied to the development of fishery management policies aimed at the sustainable harvest of resources, and to the understanding and conservation of other marine and diadromous species. Additional details about specific tracking projects which were originally a part of POST are only available by contacting the associated researcher.","intellectualrights":"This work is licensed under a  Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 License","feed":{"id":"484069ae-da92-43bc-835b-86ed774b95c6","url":"https://oceantrack.org/ipt/rss.do","website":"https://oceantrack.org/ipt","active":true},"institutes":[{"name":"Ocean Tracking Network","oceanexpert_id":18704,"oceanexpert_parent_id":null}],"contacts":[{"role":null,"type":"creator","givenname":"Ocean Tracking Network","surname":"Data Centre","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":"https://members.oceantrack.org","organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Creator"},{"role":null,"type":"contact","givenname":"Ocean Tracking Network","surname":"Data Centre","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"otndc@dal.ca","url":"http://members.oceantrack.org","organization_oceanexpert_id":18704,"type_display":"Contact"},{"role":null,"type":"metadataProvider","givenname":"Jonathan","surname":"Pye","organization":"Ocean Tracking Network","position":"Data Manager","email":"jonathan.pye@dal.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Metadata Provider"},{"role":"principalInvestigator","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Shannon","surname":"Balfry","organization":"Vancouver Aquarium","position":null,"email":"shannon.balfry@vanaqua.org","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Principal Investigator"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Scott","surname":"Hinch","organization":"University of British Columbia","position":null,"email":"scott.hinch@ubc.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"contentProvider","type":"associatedParty","givenname":"Fred","surname":"Whoriskey","organization":"Dalhousie University","position":null,"email":"fwhoriskey@dal.ca","url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Content Provider"},{"role":"principalInvestigator","type":"personnel","givenname":"Shannon","surname":"Balfry","organization":null,"position":null,"email":null,"url":null,"organization_oceanexpert_id":null,"type_display":"Principal Investigator"}],"nodes":[{"id":"68f83ea7-69a7-44fd-be77-3c3afd6f3cf8","name":"OTN-OBIS"}],"keywords":[{"keyword":"ACOUSTIC TAGS","thesaurus":"n/a"},{"keyword":"EARTH SCIENCE &gt; BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION &gt; ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES &gt; FISH","thesaurus":"Global Change Master Directory (GCMD)"},{"keyword":"Occurrence","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Type Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_type.xml"},{"keyword":"Observation","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Subtype Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_subtype.xml"},{"keyword":"Samplingevent","thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Type Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_type_2015-07-10.xml"}],"downloads":[{"year":2026,"downloads":202,"records":17742},{"year":2025,"downloads":2398,"records":213496},{"year":2024,"downloads":3210,"records":284709},{"year":2023,"downloads":2632,"records":141776},{"year":2022,"downloads":1772,"records":71480},{"year":2021,"downloads":211,"records":8440}],"tags":null,"disable_extensions":null,"records":40},{"id":"384580a6-e811-427d-a7a0-1319f6d013a8","url":"https://ipt.inbo.be/resource?r=2011_rivierprik","archive":"https://ipt.inbo.be/archive.do?r=2011_rivierprik","published":"2026-06-08T13:59:14.000Z","created":"2024-09-25T09:15:30.294Z","updated":"2026-06-08T14:05:26.912Z","core":"occurrence","extensions":["measurementorfact"],"statistics":{"Event":0,"absence":0,"dropped":0,"Occurrence":5505,"DNADerivedData":0,"MeasurementOrFact":117},"extent":"POLYGON((3.4313904305 50.7917709035,4.1060977142 50.7917709035,4.1060977142 51.1042459773,3.4313904305 51.1042459773,3.4313904305 50.7917709035))","title":"2011_RIVIERPRIK - Acoustic telemetry data for river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) in the upper Scheldt river (Belgium)","citation":"Buysse D, Mouton A, Baeyens R, De Maerteleire N, Desmet P, Gelaude E, Jacobs Y, Pauwels I, Reyserhove L, Coeck J (2026). 2011_RIVIERPRIK - Acoustic telemetry data for river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) in the upper Scheldt river (Belgium).

This infrastructure includes state-of-the-art acoustic receivers and oceanographic monitoring equipment, and autonomous marine vehicles carrying oceanographic sensors and mobile acoustic receivers.  Long-life acoustic tags (n=40) implanted in the experimental animals will provide long-term spatial resolution of shark movements and distribution, trans-boundary migrations, site fidelity, and the species’ response to a changing ocean. This study will facilitate interspecific comparisons, documentation of intra- and interspecific interactions, and permit long-term monitoring of this understudied predator in the Northwest Atlantic. The study will also provide basic and necessary information to better inform fisheries managers and policy makers. This is pertinent given the recent formulation of the Canadian Plan of Action for Shark Conservation.","intellectualrights":"This work is licensed under a  Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0

Little is known about the impact of turbine operation on the survival and behaviour of fishes moving through the Passage. To address the potential for fish-turbine interactions near the deployed OpenHydro turbine, we are using animal tracking technology developed by Vemco of Halifax, Nova Scotia, to track fish movement, behaviour and environmental preferences over a scale of kilometres. This project will provide real in-situ measurements of the direction, depth and velocity of tagged fishes moving through the Passage. Three species of concern will be tagged during 2010: Atlantic sturgeon, striped bass and American eels. Fishes tagged with acoustic transmitting tags will broadcast unique signals that will be archived by an array of acoustic hydrophone receivers in the Minas Passage. A dense array of receivers located at the OpenHydro turbine site will provide fine scale information on movements and behaviour of fish in relation to an operating tidal turbine. In addition a line of receivers spanning the Passage, placed in co-operation with OTN and Acadia University, will provide information on the spatial and temporal distribution and movement of fish in the Passage. To enhance the assessment of the risk to fishes of direct contact with the turbine, in situ data will be used to refine mathematical hydrodynamic models that predict how objects like fish move in the Passage and potentially interact with turbine infrastructure. This information will be valuable in identifying mitigation measures that may be taken to lessen any negative effects of in-stream turbine infrastructure on fish behaviour and survival.","intellectualrights":"This work is licensed under a  Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0

Based on fishery landings, snow crabs are thought to segregate by sex and size. The species is migratory, based on the seasonal disappearance and reappearance of crabs in different geographical areas, and limited tagging studies that have been conducted to date. However, the tagging studies necessary to document the scale and scope of such migrations have not yet been conducted. Information about the migratory movements of the species will be very important to managers as they determine quotas for fisheries in the different crab fishing zones (geographical management areas). At present, snow crab movements are too poorly understood to assist in developing management regimes for the species. This project involves the tagging and release of snow crab onto the Scotian Shelf by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans along with subsequent deployments of acoustic receivers in order to track their movements. Additional receivers have been deployed in the area through collaboration with industrial partners. Tagging has occurred in several areas off Cape Breton, Halifax and within St. Anne's Bank MPA.</p>\n        ","intellectualrights":"This work is licensed under a  Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY)

In total 26 adult individuals of five local wild fish species (<i>Anguilla anguilla</i>, <i>Cyprinus carpio</i>, <i>Platichthys flesus</i>, <i>Rutilus rutilus</i>, <i>Silurus glanis</i>) were captured, tagged and released in 2015, to study the effect of a specific barrier on their upstream/downstream migration in the Dijle basin.</p><p>Fish migrating from the sea to the Dijle river (or vice versa) are obstructed by a weir in the city of Mechelen which is designed to prevent tides from entering further inland. To mitigate this problem, fish-friendly weir management was implemented, the effect of which was measured in this study with acoustic telemetry. In 2015, 26 individuals of five fish species - European eel (<i>Anguilla anguilla</i>), common carp (<i>Cyprinus carpio</i>), flounder (<i>Platichthys flesus</i>), roach (<i>Rutilus rutilus</i>) and wels catfish (<i>Silurus glanis</i>) - were captured, tagged and tracked in the areas up- and downstream of the weir. 3 wels catfish tagged for the 2014_demer study were also detected. Results of the evaluated weir passages by fish showed that 21 of 29 fish were able to pass the weir at specific hydrological conditions and weir management options. The number of passages differed between species, but happened always in the periods that higher passage could be expected following their lifestyle.

It contains animal (fish) tracking data collected by the Permanent Belgian Acoustic Receiver Network <a href=\"https://lifewatch.be/en/fish-acoustic-receiver-network\">(https://lifewatch.be/en/fish-acoustic-receiver-network)</a> for the project/study 2014_demer, using VEMCO tags (V7, V13) and receivers (VR2W). In total 16 adult individuals of four local wild fish species (<i>Petromyzon marinus</i>, <i>Rutilus rutilus</i>, <i>Silurus glanis</i>, <i>Squalius cephalus</i>) were captured, tagged and released in 2014, to study the effect of a specific barrier on their upstream/downstream migration in the Demer basin.</p><p>Longitudinal and lateral connectivity of rivers is necessary for fish to successfully fulfill their life cycle. In Flanders, fish are obstructed in their essential free migrations by weirs, sluices, mills, and pumping stations, which are needed to control the water level. The Demer river drains the eastern part of the Scheldt basin. Fish migrating from the sea to the Demer river are obstructed by three hydraulic constructions. In this study we aimed to evaluate the possibilities for fish migration around the most upstream of these three constructions, the Grote Steunbeer in the city of Diest. Therefore, behaviour of two sea lamprey (<i>Petromyzon marinus</i>), two roach (<i>Rutilus rutilus</i>), nine Wels catfish (<i>Silurus glanis</i>) and three chub (<i>Squalius cephalus</i>) was investigated by acoustic telemetry in the areas up-, downstream and around the fish migration barrier. The results indicated that free upstream fish migration in the Demer river is obstructed by the Grote Steunbeer barrier in its current state, and that adaptations to this barrier should get priority as the tributary of the Zwarte beek only partly offers an alternative route for fish to qualitative spawning habitats upstream.</p><p>This dataset was collected using infrastructure provided by VLIZ and INBO funded by the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) as part of the Belgian contribution to LifeWatch.
