Telemetry
From BAWiki
Definition
Telemetry refers to the surgically implanting of animals (e.g. fish) with battery-operated acoustic or radio transmitters. After release of the tagged animals into the water body of their origin the individual signals sent out by the transmitters are tracked by means of hydrophones or antennas. The tagged fish can thus be located and their migration route followed.
