“…The ability to monitor multiple individuals concurrently for up to several years can provide important residency data. In addition, recent studies have begun to establish methods for validating and analyzing presence/absence detection data that expand the use of this monitoring equipment to better determine home ranges and activity patterns, with results becoming comparable to those obtained via laborious manual telemetry or via expensive high-resolution radio-acoustic positioning and telemetry (VRAP) methods (Bradbury et al 1995, O'Dor et al 2002, Simpfendorfer et al 2002, Parsons et al 2003, Heupel et al 2004.…”

The California sheephead Semicossyphus pulcher Ayres (Labridae) is a temperate, rocky-reef/kelp-bed fish that is sought by recreational and commercial fishermen. Long-term acoustic monitoring was used to ascertain site fidelity and seasonal movement patterns of S. pulcher. We implanted 16 adult (24 to 36 cm standard length) fish with long-term (~1 yr) acoustic transmitters and their presence and movement patterns were monitored in the Catalina Marine Science Center Marine Life Reserve using an acoustic receiver array. A method was developed that explained some of the variability in detection frequencies. A negative relationship between detection frequency and activity (rate of movement) was found for S. pulcher moving within the array. Most fish exhibited high site fidelity to the general area of the reserve, with 13 of the 16 fish detected spending an average of 99 ± 2% of their total days at liberty in the study area, with a mean of 90 ± 9% of total residence time spent within a 600 m core area. However, these fish showed some variability in area use between months, exhibiting periods of expansion in their range. Fish also tended to increase activity as seasonal water temperature increased. These expanded movements resulted in some fish crossing the reserve boundary for extended periods or leaving the reserve permanently.

“…20 to 40% of the estimated total lifespan. Most telemetry studies of cephalopods thus far have been limited to behavioural and/or energetics research using radio acoustic positioning and telemetry (RAPT) systems over small spatial and temporal scales (Sauer et al 1997, O'Dor et al 2000. Clearly, acoustic tracking is also a successful research tool by which to explore movement and migration of cephalopods over much larger spatial and temporal scales as demonstrated here, and also by Stark et al (2005) with Nototodarus gouldi, which were recorded for periods of up to 37 d using a system of VR2.…”

New applications of hydroacoustic methods for monitoring shallow water aquatic ecosystems: the case of mussel culture grounds

The development of acoustics tools and methods for monitoring anthropized ecosystems represents a new field for the application of acoustics. Monitoring such an environment was not possible with single vertical echo sounders, due to the fact that the artificial structures and the natural targets were not distinguishable. Monitoring data were collected along the French Mediterranean coastline, during five short surveys of mussel culture longline areas. Both the Reson Seabat 6012 multibeam sonar (455 kHz) and the Simrad SR 240 omnidirectional sonar (23.75 kHz) were used for target detection. The former tools allow accurate allocation of the different types of echoes to artefacts, fish schools and scattered fish. The school characteristics collected included morphological, geographical (GPS, school location), and behavioural (connections with the longlines). An acoustic survey undertaken with the same hardware near the study area allowed the comparison of fish schools and the TS distribution of individual fish in the open sea and in the mussel area. These data permitted us to evaluate the ecological impact of a mussel culture on the ecosystem, in a context of predation behaviour of fish on these longlines. Finally, the acoustic data revealed the configuration of each concession and the level of charge of each line. We discuss the applicability of this technology for in situ real time monitoring for joint management of such ecosystems. The information can allow littoral cooperative management or incorporating it into an ecosystem approach.
