Description
Acoustically tagging fish allows detailed information to be gathered around fish behaviour and movements within the riverine environment, that can be used to prioritise actions and influence management of fisheries. Acoustic tagging allows detailed analysis of fish movements within river systems, through estuaries and in the marine environment. Tagging work has been ongoing on the river Dee for 5 years, but tagging projects are being expanded out across Wales. In addition, fish tagging will be a key monitoring activity for LIFEDeeRiver to understand impacts of improvement actions
