Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The use of telemetry methods by marine ecologist has significantly increased during the past 20 years. Deploying tags to track movement of a wide range of fish species is becoming common. Telemetry technology evolves constantly and gets more and more accurate, efficient and affordable. Telemetry includes a wide range of methods using increasingly diverse devices from local acoustic networks to global satellite positioning. This technology provides data on all aspects of fish behavior, at multiple spatial and temporal scales, from small-scale continuous to large- scale inter-annual monitoring. It is either used as the sole method (behavior, migration) or part of multiple data sources for more general ecological studies. In this context, the special issue on “Telemetry Studies of Fish” has multiple objectives: publish new results provided by the latest development of the technology, assess issues on the accuracy, the performance and the limits of these methods for a better use to avoid misinterpretation of the results, and present the future development of fish ecology understanding enabled by telemetry.
