Fisheries and Aquatic Research
With over 20 years of
experience tracking movements, behaviour and physiological
parameters of free-swimming wild fish, we pride ourselves
on our
expertise in fisheries and aquatic research.
Fish Monitoring
3BEA's
team is skilled in monitoring fish and wildlife in their
natural environments, with a diverse background of
experience in monitoring fish passage and behaviour.
We also provide fish
monitoring using videography. Using a patent-pending
underwater fish monitoring system, we are able to observe fish
and collect data on their movements and behavioural
patterns in natural and artificial (i.e. fishway)
environments. The videos produced from our underwater
cameras generate novel and interesting data on the
activities of fish and other species for
use in outreach, education and research.
Fish Telemetry
We have developed specialized and
field-proven
long-term tracking techniques for both freshwater and
marine fish. Tagging and tracking
procedures have also been customized for riverine studies at dams, weirs and
fishways.
Services provided for
telemetry projects:
-
Fish collection

transmitter implantation
