Tagging and Tracking with Electronic Devices

The PFRP was host to “Tagging and Tracking Marine Fish with Electronic Devices,” a major international symposium held at the East-West Center in Honolulu from February 7–11, 2000. More than 100 scientists and electronics manufacturers from a dozen countries assembled to share their findings and discuss the state-of-the-art in this rapidly developing field. Results from all of earth’s oceans were presented. Species discussed included tropical cephalopods (squids, octopii and cuttlefish), salmon, tunas, marlins, cod, reef fish, sea basses and sharks, from habitats ranging from shallow inshore waters to the deep ocean. Symposium proceedings will be published in 2000 as a book by Kluwer Press.
