Abstract

Miniaturised acoustic tags are key to conducting spatial behaviour studies on marine organisms (e.g., Norwegian Lobster). Nonetheless, the current technology has its limitations, specifically in acquiring high-resolution 3D movements. Engineering and developing new bidirectional acoustic tags will help improve the tracking and monitoring capabilities of the tagged species. To accomplish this milestone, a testbed needs to be established to validate and iterate over every tag’s system. In this paper, the construction and capabilities of the first testbed’s keystone tool are presented, and results from laboratory and field tests are discussed.
