2. To track migrating plaice equipped with long-life transponding acoustic tags and to estimate their swimming speed and orientation by simultaneous use of the sector scanning sonar and the acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). 3. To relay a minipod guard buoy in Tees Bay. 4. To carry out trials of 34kHz transponding acoustic tags. |
