The Benefit of Acoustic Telemetry

Acoustic telemetry makes it possible to track individual animals and gather detailed data on behaviour and movement in environments that are otherwise difficult to observe. Using coded transmitters and accurately placed receivers, key variables like position, depth, and presence are recorded over time. The method is non-invasive and works across a wide range of species and habitats. This enables precise ecological insight and long-term monitoring.
