Claim: The system of telemetry, used in the Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking Project, consists of highly efficient lines of acoustic receivers that pick up signals from the tagged animals and also allow for the estimation of parameters such as swimming speed and mortality.
Evidence: This system of telemetry consists of highly efficient lines of acoustic receivers that create sections of the continental shelf along the coast of the Pacific Northwest. The acoustic receivers pick up signals from the tagged animals as they pass along the lines, allowing for the documentation of movement patterns. The receivers also allow for the estimation of parameters such as swimming speed and mortality.
