Tracking Studies of Sharks, Sturgeon, and Trout
This Event has no scheduled dates at this time. It last occurred on Tuesday, June 27, 2017.
Event Description:
Sharks, sturgeon, trout, and other species can be tagged with acoustic transmitters so that they can be detected and tracked. The UC Davis Biotelemetry Laboratory uses simple beacons, which transmit pulses at a fixed rate and are used to identify the presence of an animal, and telemetry transmitters, which can be equipped with sensors for depth, speed, and temperature. These can be used to examine species abundance, movement, feeding habits, diets, residence patterns, and more. Join Pete Klimley, director of the Biotelemetry Lab, to learn about the role of sensory physiology in orientation, predator-prey interactions, ultrasonic tracking, and telemetry.
