Our acoustic telemetry systems, recorders and release devices help you track animal movement, capture underwater sound and recover equipment safely. So whether you’re studying salmon in a river, tracking sharks along a coastline or listening for whales offshore, we provide the tools and support to collect reliable data every time.

Fish & Animal Tracking
We supply Innovasea acoustic telemetry tags and receivers to reveal how species move and behave. High‑residency tags deliver fine‑scale movement data, while longer‑range tags operate for years on a single battery. Receivers log detections and environmental data, and our ARC release device makes retrieval straightforward. These systems integrate with open‑protocol networks and are trusted in thousands of projects, from small rivers to open‑ocean migration.
Underwater Noise Monitoring
Measure and understand underwater sound as it happens. Our passive acoustic recorders Porpoise and Orca capture quality acoustic data, making them ideal for marine mammal research or noise pollution monitoring. For projects that need live insight, Marlin brings real-time acoustic monitoring into view, helping teams detect, review and respond to underwater sound events faster. For accessing difficult environments, Seaber’s YUCO PAM micro-AUV combines an autonomous vehicle with Porpoise for mobile acoustic surveys, following custom mission paths and recording with minimal disturbance.
Instrument Retrieval
Tracking fish and animal behaviour involves deploying valuable instruments on the ocean floor, often for months on end. Additionally, these studies are often conducted in marine protected areas. ARC (Acoustic Release Canister) is designed for use with Innovasea acoustic receivers and can help make long-term fish tracking deployments easier to recover, especially where diving is difficult or best avoided. It can also support selected smaller instruments, such as compact passive acoustic recorders, depending on payload, buoyancy and deployment setup.
FAQ
How do I choose the right tag for the fish species I want to track?
Always consider the species tolerance to tagging to start. Then consider the type of study, length of deployment and desired transmission rate. Larger fish tags do have greater detection range and lifespan, but its important to consider the size of the species you want to track when deciding which tags needed for your project.
Can I monitor environmental conditions alongside animal movements?
Yes. NexTrak R1 pairs with Innovasea coded 69kHz transmitters and sensor tags, and logs noise, tilt, temperature and signal strength. That helps add environmental context to detection data, so you can better understand not just where the species are moving, but what conditions they are moving through.
What's the benefit of autonomous noise recording?
Autonomous underwater vehicles like the YUCO PAM AUV collect noise data with ease, without a support vessel, this significantly reduces cost of vessel rental and personnel. These small but remarkable AUVs access hard to reach areas and adapt to missions as programmed by the user.
Is it possible to retrieve equipment used in marine protected areas?
Its important to ensure kit is always collected where possible and safe to do so . We solved this long-standing issue in the industry when we developed the ARC (Acoustic Release Canister). It attaches to the instrument and releases it upon receiving a coded acoustic signal, bringing it to the surface for easy recovery.
