iTAG Network

Abstracts for the 7th International Conference on Fish Telemetry hosted by @GLATOS_Fish are due this Friday! event.fourwaves.com/7thicft/pages

Now introducing TrackdAT - A collaborative Acoustic Telemetry network housing 2461 analyzed articles spanning 614 unique species and 73 countries, with 5177 attributed authors! This new online portal is easy to access and FREE to create an account. @trackdat_fish @BarbieriSue

Huge thanks to our divers (Brandan, River, and Melissa) and crew (Bautisse) for braving the wind and cold temperatures to get our #TampaBay receivers downloaded this week! #sawfishscience #sharkscience

We still track in the Keys….this year: 695,550 detections/131 tags/82 sent to @iTAG_Science⁩ members If these look familiar dm me! A69-1602-54017 62 A69-9001-4592 80 A69-9001-4599 95 A69-9001-57850 290 A69-9001-62499 57 A69-9002-4983 & 84 57

Our amazing divers worked tirelessly sun up to sun down to relocate post-hurricanes (x2 😩) our @innovasea acoustic receivers. 51/52 stations successfully retrieved and downloaded! 🙌 @FACT_Network @iTAG_Science @OceanTracking 2/7

Are you collecting acoustic telemetry data for marine animals in Western North Atlantic, Carib. Sea or Gulf of Mex? We are inviting collaborators to A-BioTrack to integrate tracking data into multi-spp diversity indicators. Deadline extended to Aug 8th. Footage: Josh Liberman

Hey #FLKeys want to help out #shark #science during #SharkWeek when the storm clears? A satellite tag from a great #hammerhead shark just popped up near Tea Table Key Channel. Reward available upon return. Please RT. #Islamorada #FloridaKeys

@egreenheck sharing a portion of her thesis work on Gulf Sturgeon use of Mobile Bay. All made possible through a collaborative tracking network @Innovasea @iTAG_Science

Want to know whether your acoustically tagged animals have been detected across the national IMOS receiver network? Check out the new Mystery Tags lookup tool to find out whether data are available for these tags in the database: animaltracking.aodn.org.au

Delayed update on the red snapper tagging rodeo. The stretch goal was to acoustically tag 30 in a day. We got 20. Proud of the cowboys (not the calmest day) & glad we hedged our bets and tagged 13 in December! Also deployed a few > offshore receivers @iTAG_Science

Spatial + resource ecology is challenging to quantify in wild animals, especially marine fish. Our new @JAppliedEcology paper combines telemetry and isotopes to generate a resource isoscape to help inform habitat + fisheries management in Florida Keys besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

It’s a New Year which means new receivers, new tags, and new arrays! Don’t miss your chance to enter @Innovasea purchase predictions for the iTAG discount along with any updates to existing or new arrays. Deadline is Saturday 1/15/2022 Happy tracking!!

Florida Fish and Wildlife Keys lab is hiring! Interested in telemetry and living in the Keys, check out the link below... jobs.myflorida.com/job/MARATHON-O…

Successful day doing rov abundance surveys, while also acoustically and dart tagging gag. Congrats team ⁦@iTAG_Science⁩.

@iTAG_Science⁩ …members please remember to update expected 2022 Innovasea purchase by 1/15. If u can buy the deep sea lego set for your adult child (ok that was me 🙂) you can add your expected purchases and help with our itag discount ⁦@Innovasea⁩

33 existing @innovasea receiver stations serviced and 17 new ones deployed in just over 2 days! Seriously lucky to work with the diving dream team @VictoriaGoldne1 @CeciliaMHampton @PritzkerMarine. Fall fieldwork 🌬 🌧 🌊 🥶. Divers appreciated @CoastalElasmos hot tub!

OTN is excited to announce that @Innovasea is providing a VR2Tx as a draw prize for the 2021 OTN Symposium to honour Richard Vallee’s retirement. If you’re registered to attend, you could be the lucky winner!

Tell me you’re starting a new #SharkScience project without telling me you’re starting a new project! @DisneyConserves @TBEP1991 @FloridaSeaGrant @CoastalElasmos @iTAG_Science @FACT_Network @OceanTracking @Innovasea #TrackingNotSlacking

Happy @OceanTracking and @Innovasea receivers heading back to the MERR lab after a 1 year deployment out in the Middle Grounds (Array #64) Orphan detections will be uploaded shortly to the iTAG orphan exchange! Any guesses on whose tags we detected?

It's finally here!! A clean method for extracting covariates for animal movement analysis with Google Earth Engine and R...bam! New manuscript + tutorial from @SmithsonianMoL scientist @RamiroCrego2 et al. Paper:bit.ly/3joA1BV Tutorial: bit.ly/3B1vnQf
