Buoyancy from 2, 20cm deep‐water floats.Sonardyne LRT (with ranging capability) coupled to 100m of 4t, 8mm dyneema spooled into canister.Metal lower shield and plastic top cowl keeps parts secure
Line connected to lander via nylon shock‐pendent.
On activation, floats bring LRT and line canister (paying out line) to the surface. Vessel hauls lander up and onboard.

6 VR3 landers now (since 4 Jan)
at test site
50 locally caught fish tagged from 7 important species
![Page 21: Moorings - Fish Group - Cotterell€¦ · Stephen Cotterell. Why I’m here Historical situation and species of interest Fish tracking equipment ‐choice of approach Site choice,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060610/60611c96d0958a2224403ef8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Between 14 Jan and 12 Mar 2010 (60 days), 11,086 pings were logged by 5 landers (L1 so far a problem) but with 11,048 being valid.
22 fishes have been resident for >5 days and 10 fish for >30 days.
All except 3 dogfish have been detected.
7 fish and tags so far returned for rewards (via M&FA / MMO).
Ongoing upload & additional tagging

Acoustic tracking is prone to echoes giving infeasible locations, based on speed, distance and time
These are then fixed
Iteration 1 shows infeasible distances (in red)Iteration 2 shows more infeasible distances (in red)
These are then fixed
Iteration 3 shows more infeasible distances (in red)
These are then fixed
Iteration 4 shows infeasible speeds (in red)
These are then fixed
Programs semi-automate and speed up the complex task of error checking
Other programs have been developed to process dive data
Now that errors are removed, a range of statistical and analytical functions can be applied

Applying a mixture of survey, engineering and analysis tools, built on extensive experience and historical data, means we can study population level movements of fishes at fine‐scales and over extended time periods
This is just a flavour of our work. For more details see:
