    Abstract: Aquatic organism monitoring devices and aquatic organism monitoring methods are described. According to one aspect, a monitoring device includes a housing configured to be physically associated with an aquatic organism, environmental circuitry configured to generate a first output indicative of at least one environmental parameter of an environment of the organism, behavioral circuitry coupled with the housing and configured to generate a second output indicative of at least one behavioral parameter of the organism, physiological circuitry coupled with the housing and configured to generate a third output indicative of at least one physiological parameter of the organism, and a transmitter configured to transmit an acoustic signal externally of the housing, and wherein the acoustic signal includes information regarding one or more of the at least one environmental parameter, the at least one behavioral parameter, and the at least one physiological parameter.

    Abstract: Aquatic tracking makes use of acoustics, rather than other signals that do not travel as well in water. Tracking devices are used to monitor species of fish and other aquatic animals to monitor how their populations and movements are in nature, and how or whether those populations and movements are affected by, for example, hydroelectric dams and other manmade structures and phenomena. Often, the trackers inserted in aquatic animals adversely affect the animals and can lead to mortality or changed behaviors. New solutions that decrease the size and weight of such tracking devices are disclosed herein, enabling better tracking of aquatic animals that is less likely to cause adverse effects to those populations.
