WHS 4350

• Autonomous underwater node – complete with hydrophone, receiver, datalogger in waterproof/submersible (400 m) package powered by one to four D-cell lithium batteries
• JSATS (Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System) Compatible – allows researchers to utilize the smallest acoustic transmitters available – ¼ gram
• Sub-millisecond ID pulse – robust against code collision in multi-tag congregations and multi-path environments
• Over 65,000 unique ID codes on a single frequency
• Energy efficient – ability to operate for 50 days with a single D-cell lithium battery and up to 200 days with 4 cells
• Low cost and light weight – minimizes deployment resources required
• Supplied with Host software for easy programming, data download, and data processing
• Positioning (2D) – compatible with Lotek UMAP Positioning System software
• Integrated transmit “beacon” – provides ongoing assurance of system functionality and means for receiver location and recovery.
• Depth rated to 400 meters
• Bluetooth®-enabled for wireless programming and system diagnostics
• Real time monitoring option for mobile tracking with optional cable
• Sensor Options include the ability to log Pressure, Temperature and Tilt

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. A cost effective solution in both flat and fast moving water.

JSATS system deployed off the coast of Spain

Using data generated with UMAP, then processed and filtered in R, this animation shows the activity of marine animals; pearly razor fish, n = 320, Common pandora, n = 6, Sand Steenbras, n =  1, Sea bream and Rough Ray, n = 3.”
