Acoustic telemetry has helped overcome many of the challenges faced when studying the movement ecology of aquatic species, allowing to obtain unprecedented amounts of data. This has made it into one of the most widely used methods nowadays. Many ways to analyse acoustic telemetry data have been made available and deciding on how to analyse the data requires considering the type of research objectives, relevant properties of the data (e.g., resolution, study design, equipment), habits of the study species, researcher experience, among others. To ease this decision process, here we showcase (1) some of the methods used to estimate pseudo-positions and positions from raw acoustic telemetry data, (2) methods to estimate residency and (3) methods to estimate two-dimensional home and occurrence range using geometric or hull-based methods and density-distribution methods, a network-based approach, and three-dimensional methods. We provide examples of some of these were tested using a sample of real data. With this we intend to provide the necessary background for the selection of the method(s) that better fit specific research objectives when using acoustic telemetry.

Other features also include online retrieval of data, allowing near‐live updates of positioning data by the use of a surface data modem (Baktoft et al, 2017; Manicacci et al, 2022). Such features may be relevant for event driven manipulation studies, active management of fishways or other installations where seasonal choices of activity can be made.…”

Geolocating aquatic animals with acoustic tags has been ongoing for decades, relying on the detection of acoustic signals at multiple receivers with known positions to calculate a 2D or 3D position, and ultimately recreate the path of an aquatic animal from detections at fixed stations. This method of underwater geolocation is evolving with new software and hardware options available to help investigators design studies and calculate positions using solvers based predominantly on time‐difference‐of‐arrival and time‐of‐arrival. We provide an overview of the considerations necessary to implement positioning in aquatic acoustic telemetry studies, including how to design arrays of receivers, test performance, synchronize receiver clocks and calculate positions from the detection data. We additionally present some common positioning algorithms, including both the free open‐source solvers and the ‘black‐box’ methods provided by some manufacturers for calculating positions. This paper is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of methods and considerations for designing and implementing better positioning studies that will support users, and encourage further knowledge advances in aquatic systems.

“…The means of identification of underwater moving objects are considered by the authors of the work, which describes the tactical and technical characteristics of an AIS-type system that can simultaneously track several underwater objects with the necessary spatial and temporal resolution, demonstrating a realistic trajectory of movement [3]. The acoustic tracking system, designed for longterm tracking, thanks to the solar panel and is based on the principle of trilateration.…”

The article examines the development of underwater space in the interests of maritime freighttransport as such, which increases the carrying capacity of existing sea transport routes, increasesenergy efficiency and reduces the risks of freight transport, provided there is no negative impact on themovement of the vehicle by wind, surface waves and drift currents. It is proposed to create anextensive system of cargo transportation in the underwater space as an alternative to conventionalshipping. The best underwater data exchange in terms of speed and volume of transmitted informationis provided by laser methods. In second place is radio communication in the microwave range and inthird place is the hydroacoustic communication channel. Thus, underwater data transmission based onlasers and radio waves is effective for data transmission only in conditions where the underwatertransport vessel moves in the near-surface layer of the ocean. In the future, hybrid data exchangesystems will be created under water, based on the physical principles of data transmission by radio,laser, hydroacoustic communication. Hybrid communication systems based on hydroacoustics andradar are not excluded. Keywords: Underwater space, underwater vehicles, hydroacoustic, navigation, cargotransportation.
