Microelectronic acoustic transmitters help scientist study behaviour

Researchers from the Department of Marine Sciences at the University of Almería and the Instituto Ramon Margalef are carrying out research using microelectronic acoustic transmitters, implanted in the stomach of farmed sea bream and sea bass. This is  helping the team of Spanish scientists to study the behaviour of these fish and prevent their escape.

"While aquaculture escapes are further studied in northern Europe, especially in the case of salmon and cod, in the Mediterranean there is less knowledge on this subject," said Pablo Sánchez, project coordinator. Read more ...
