*The WHS 4250 had been superseded by the WHS 4350, and is no longer available.
Lotek JSATS acoustic compatible wireless hydrophone system WHS 4250 is an autonomous, submersible receiver/datalogger that detects, decodes and records the presence of JSATS transmitters. WHS 4250 is an affordable, compact, and lightweight system that enables researchers to utilize the smallest acoustic tags available.
Digital BPSK binary phase shift keying coding algorithm permits over 65,000 unique ID codes on a single frequency (416.7 KHz) and sub-millisecond ID burst is robust against code collision in multi-tag congregations and multipath reverberant environments.
Salmon smolt survival studies, fish passage/guidance efficiency studies, habitat utilization and species interaction studies, migration timing and behavior, fine scale 2D positioning with Lotek UMAP positioning software.
Getting ready for our reality mining experiment with @enekoasp in Mallorca with @RArlinghausFish @LeibnizIGB to track a full coastal food-web (350 individuals: invertebrates to big rays) at unprecedented spatial(m.)/temporal(s.) resolution with @LotekWireless positioning system pic.twitter.com/H7g2AxNfUO

After 6 months, we have retrieved half of our telemetry @lotek array (+35 moorings anchors 30 kg each😂). No problems so far besides de hard work!💪300 fish HD positioning!🐟🐡The supercomputing center can not wait to touch to the data!😊@fishecology_ & @RArlinghausFish pic.twitter.com/quCuoTsK9E
