NexTrak

An aquatic tracking study needs animal detections tied to the receiver arrangement and deployment records. Innovasea combines acoustic tags, receivers and study software in NexTrak. Researchers use the selected components to collect detections and examine the movements represented by their field installation.

Compatible coded tags emit signals that deployed receivers record. The corresponding receiver models also log selected environmental or equipment information. Staff initialize equipment and offload records through the chosen Fathom software arrangement. Desktop and mobile functions support field preparation and data retrieval, while the cloud workspace organizes study records, receiver metadata and shared analysis. Selected tag firmware can change how transmissions are arranged for the corresponding study. Receiver placement and the deployment record define the area represented by the detections.

An optional receiver with acoustic release can be retrieved from its mooring using the corresponding deck equipment. Researchers select that model where the retrieval method suits the site. Additional Live or Position functions require the matching equipment, software and receiver arrangement. Those functions can add connected notifications or position calculations to a chosen study. The team reviews detection records, exports results and checks the represented coverage when interpreting movement. The installation needs compatible tags, suitable receiver placement and a planned equipment retrieval and data-offload routine.
