The Lotek Freshwater Segment
Presenting: Winter Webinar Series Part 2. Diving in Deeper with the SRX 1200 – Stationary Data Collection in Freshwater
The Lotek Freshwater Segment presents “Diving in Deeper with the SRX 1200 – Stationary Data Collection in Freshwater” as the final part of the Winter Webinar Series. This presentation will guide you through receiver/station setup, considerations, location accessibility, range testing, receiver care, power considerations, data acquisition, and SRX 1200 feature options for autonomous data collection, such as master antenna preview, codeset features, CRTO, Wi-Fi download communication, text alerts, and more. Be sure to bring your questions.

The Lotek Freshwater Segment
Presenting: Winter Webinar Series Part 1. Diving in Deeper with the SRX 1200 – Mobile Tracking in Freshwater
The Lotek Freshwater Segment presents “Diving in Deeper with the SRX 1200 – Mobile Tracking in Freshwater” as part one of the two part Winter Webinar Series. This introduction to the SRX 1200 radio receiver will guide you through receiver set up, to nuances associated with type of mobile tracking; on foot, by car, by boat, by plane, antenna orientation and height, antenna mounting and isolation, the use of the GPS feature, beeper vs. coded, tracking- how to focus on a single ID, and more. Be sure to bring your questions.

Gabriel R.S de Souza, Eneko Aspillaga, Joseph Iafrate (via Lindsay Enslow) & Jan Reubens.
Presenting: The Spectrum of Acoustic Telemetry
Lotek Telemetry Talks presents ” The Spectrum of Lotek Acoustic Telemetry”. We will be joined by guest speakers Gabriel R.S. de Souza, Eneko Aspillaga, Joseph Iafrate (via Lindsay Enslow) & Jan Reubens to explore marine applications of acoustic telemetry and the future of the technology.
- Gabriel R.S. de Souza – Acoustic Telemetry in a Noisy Environment: Overcoming This Challenge
Gabriel R. S. de Souza is a marine biologist and PhD student in Biodiversity of Coastal Environments at São Paulo State University, Brazil working with fish biotelemetry in marine and freshwater environments.
- Eneko Aspillaga -High-frequency Tracking in Marine Environments using 416 kHz JSATS & UMAP
Eneko Aspillaga is a postdoctoral researcher at the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies (IMEDEA, CSIC-UIB). His research is mostly focused on the behavioral ecology of fishes, studying the complex responses of individuals and populations to their environment, the impact of fisheries and climate change, and the effectiveness of conservation actions. In the last years, he has participated in several research projects involving acoustic tracking, focused on the movement ecology of coastal fish species of interest for fisheries in relation to marine protected areas.
- Lindsay Enslow on behalf of Joseph Iafrate- Use of Dual-Mode Acoustic Telemetry to Assess the Behavioral Response of Fish to Sonar Exposure In-Situ
Lindsay Enslow, Marine Telemetry Specialist at Lotek will be providing an overview of the work completed by Stephanie L. Watwood, Joseph Iafrate (Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport) and Eric A. Reyier (Kennedy Space Center Ecological Program)
- Jan Reubens – The Open Protocols in acoustic telemetry – Towards a pan-European multibrand tracking system
Jan Reubens completed a PhD in marine sciences (investigating the effects of offshore wind farms on benthopelagic fish). He is working as senior science officer at VLIZ being responsible for the Belgian Acoustic Receiver Network (a Permanent receiver network) and supervising several PhD studies related to fish tracking. He is currently the chair of COST Action the European Tracking Network.
