Future approaches in fish tracking: towards stronger foundations for aquatic telemetry research
Abstract: Identifying the movements and space use of fishes has long been fundamental to understanding their ecology. The development of telemetry technologies has revolutionized our ability to track individuals across space and time and discover previously unknown movements of aquatic animals. Yet, advances in methodological approaches for fish tracking research also play a vital role in the optimization of data and research outputs. In this seminar, I will discuss three ongoing research projects that collectively focus on developing future approaches to guide and progress acoustic telemetry research. These projects encompass aspects of evaluating and defining research objectives, designing study infrastructure, and implementing novel analyses to improve data integration and predictive capacity. I will summarize how databases, web applications, and development of resources in adjacent fields can be an important part of establishing foundations for future research. Together, these projects highlight how continued developments in technology and methodology can lead to a deeper understanding of fish ecology and more impactful telemetry research.

IGB Colloquia open up!
IGB strives to facilitate and accelerate the exchange of knowledge and ideas within and also outside of IGB. One element contributing to inter- and transdisciplinary exchange, and more (scientific) cooperation and innovation, is to open up IGB Colloquia to an interested external audience from science (other research institutes, universities, laboratories) as well as practice (i.e. conservationists, freshwater/land-use managers, authorities, associations). If you would like to join this IGB Colloquium as a guest, we ask you to register until the morning of the colloquium 10 o'clock the latest. After we have checked your registration, you will receive the participation link.
