A population Monte Carlo model for underwater acoustic telemetry positioning in reflective environments

James Adam Campbell; Samuel Joseph Shry; Petter Lundberg; Olle Calles; Franz Hölker

In study areas near acoustically reflective surfaces, reflected transmissions may cause large detection outliers that reduce the accuracy of telemetry positioning. A novel time-of-arrival model is presented. This allows for positioning of aquatic animal in acoustically challenging study areas. It provides good measures of positioning uncertainty and is useful for fine-scale telemetry.

New fish migrations into the Panama Canal increase likelihood of interoceanic invasions in the Americas

Gustavo A. Castellanos-Galindo; Diana M.T. Sharpe; D. Ross Robertson; Victor Bravo; Jonathan M. Jeschke; Mark E. Torchin

The authors have compared the fish communities of Lake Gatun in the Panama Canal before and after the canal’s expansion in 2016: Marine fish species  now make up 76 percent of the total biomass of the fish population and are primarily large predatory fishes. The lake’s food web is changing and local fisheries are impacted. There is also an increased risk of fishes colonizing the opposite ocean.
