Our acoustic telemetry systems, recorders and release devices help you track animal movement, capture underwater sound and recover equipment safely. 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.

Fish & Animal Tracking
We supply acoustic telemetry tags and receivers from Innovasea 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 projects from small rivers to open‑ocean migrations.
Underwater Noise Monitoring
Measure and understand underwater sound as it happens. Our passive acoustic recorders Orca and Porpoise capture high-quality acoustic data, making them ideal for marine mammal research, noise pollution monitoring and sound source localisation. 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 remote or protected sites, 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 sometimes 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 acoustic tag for my species?
Consider the size of the animal, the environment and the type of data you need. High‑residency tags suit small or resident species, while long‑range tags are better for migratory animals. We can guide you through options from Innovasea’s catalogue.
Can I monitor environmental conditions alongside animal movements?
Yes. NexTrak R1 can pair 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 animals are moving, but what conditions they’re moving through.
What’s the benefit of autonomous noise recording?
Autonomous underwater vehicles like YUCO PAM collect noise data without a research vessel, reducing disturbance and cost. They can survey hard‑to‑reach areas and adapt their missions in real time.
How do I retrieve instruments from marine protected areas?
Use an acoustic‑release system such as ARC. It attaches to your instrument and releases it upon receiving a coded acoustic signal, bringing it to the surface for easy recovery.
