The IMOS Animal Tracking Database is a centralised passive acoustic telemetry repository maintained by the IMOS Animal Tracking Database (http://imos.org.au/facilities/animaltracking/) and the Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN, https://portal.aodn.org.au/). The data it contains were compiled from a nation-wide array of over 1,000 receivers and document movements of over 100 marine species within Australian coastal waters between 2007-present.
The IMOS Animal Tracking Database is one of eleven facilities of the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). One of its main objectives is to oversee the development and maintenance of a national marine acoustic telemetry network and a public database for the Australian research community, thereby facilitating regional- to national-scale collaborative research and helping the management of Australia’s marine resources.
Researchers involved in the field of acoustic telemetry are encouraged to join the IMOS Animal Tracking community by sharing their tag and receiver data and metadata, thereby contributing to this critical national infrastructure and benefitting from automated email notifications when their tags are detected within the continent-wide network.
