The ETN, together with industry (being Thelma Biotel, Sonotronics, and Lotek), have worked on the development of new open tag protocols, which are available for all telemetry users across the world. As stated in the compatibility note , it is now clear that encrypted protocols in acoustic telemetry should be avoided by all means. To move forward towards a much-needed pan-European collaborative network that could provide relevant information in support of decision-making processes related to conservation and management, compatibility between brands and agreements on transmission protocols and ID allocation are imperative. Therefore, the ETN, together with industry (being Thelma Biotel, Sonotronics, and Lotek), have worked on the development of new open tag protocols, which are available for all telemetry users across the world - this technology is NOT restricted to Europe. This resulted in two robust and energy-efficient transmission protocols aimed for the aquatic research community, being OPi and OPs, for ID and sensor tags respectively. The Open Protocol: OPi supports over 1 million unique IDs, while OPs supports over 64 000 unique IDs with up to 4096 data points resolution. Both protocols are short and effective to reduce issues with transmission collisions. The protocols are available for all interested manufacturers after agreeing with the terms of references. Opening the infrastructure networks of acoustic telemetry to all manufacturers of different types of sensors and tags will drive innovation, and boost availability of new solutions for future research. The Manufacturers handed over OP to the ETN, who assigned the Flanders Marine institute as a third party to control the ID allocation related to these protocols.

The Sonotronics EMT-AR “Accelerometer Transmitter” is designed to provide information pertaining to movement of any animal or target tagged with the transmitter. The EMT-AR contains an onboard 2 dimensional accelerometer. When movement (acceleration) is detected on either axis, the quantity and direction of the acceleration is processed and one of many different possible output algorithms are utilized.

The TH-2 provides a simple method for mobile active tracking: its small size and hydrodynamic shape allows for trolling at speeds up to 5 knots, while the long cable length minimizes the affect of engine and prop noise. Eyelets allow attachment of small weights or diving lures to ensure the hydrophone is kept at depth while trolling. This design, though simple, rivals more elaborate and expensive systems in actual field trials.
