Juniper Publishers-Oceanography Open Access Journal

  Juniper Publishers -  Journal of Oceanography Abstract This mini review describes the development of an acoustic tag for long-range (tens to hundreds of kilometers) tracking of small fishes or other marine animals. Tracking is achieved by standard RAFOS triangulation using the arrival times of unique sound signals emitted by moored sources. The tag also records temperature and pressure. All functions of the tag are controlled by an application specific microchip. The collected acoustic and sensor data are stored in a non-volatile memory. A cylindrical hydrophone of 25.4mm length and 10.7mm diameter also serves as housing for all electronic components. Power is provided by 2 button cell batteries, which enable an active tag lifetime of approximately two years. Go to Introduction Much has been learned about the behavior of fishes during the past few decades through various kinds of data storage tags (DSTs), which were attached either externally to the back of the fish, or subc...

  Juniper Publishers -  Journal of Oceanography Abstract During our routine ecological survey conducted at Pulicat lagoon, the most diverse coelenterate belonging to 2 classes of scyphozoa ( Catostylus mosaicus, Acromitus flagellates, Cyanea capillata, Chrysaora hysoscella) and hydrozoa ( Porpita porpita) 4 families ( Catostylidae, Cyaneidae, Pelagiidae and Porpitidae) and 5 species were recorded. The Catostylus mosaicus was dominated at the Barmouth. A large amount of species occurred during the monsoon season 2013 to 2015. Cnidarians were washed ashore. During the study, the salinity levels were maximum value observed was 41 while the minimum value obtained was 38ppt. Hence, it is necessary to focus on conservation, monitoring and management strategies in places of Pulicat lagoon. Keywords: Jelly fish; Pulicat lagoon; Distribution Introduction Jelly fishes (Cnidaria), are well known bioindicators [ 1 ]. The incr...
