  • miniSUR | Sonotronics

    MINISURT Sonotronics proudly introduces this new addition to available fisheries research technologies. This small, inexpensive, long life unit allows for tracking of fish passage within its detection area. Strings, arrays, or individual receivers can be utilized depending on the resolution of detection desired in the study. One of the main principles behind the miniSURT is its ability to save valuable field time by simplifying deployments thus reducing project costs. The miniSURT brings new features and options to the marketplace aiding in the continued development of fisheries research technologies. Applications Include: 1. Site fidelity studies 2. Spawning area detection 3. Animal attachment for social experiments 4. Simple positioning in array configurations 5. Gates for Active tracking boundaries 6. Towable: for area surveys The miniSURT allows simple mooring by using tie-wraps to connect to small rope. Transmitters within the units detection area will be logged to the on board memory along with date and time. The miniSURT may be configured in the field to allow frequency scanning for ACT coded transmitters, or use with rcode transmitters. The miniSURT is designed to allow mounting to an animal as a small (16mm diameter) expendable unit, as a remotely powered, cabled RS232 system, or as a standalone submersible receiver powered by a single AA lithium battery. miniSURTsoft The miniSURT is compatible with Sonotronics integrated software for communications with logging receivers – SURtool, SURsoft, and SURsoftDPC. SURtool or SURsoft may be used to set time and date, download data, configure detection frequency and many other options. The data processing center can be used to process and examine the data obtained from miniSURT’s, saving valuable time in sorting data. Features include examining data by transmitter, processing telemetry data, and viewing a graphic display of activity at a passive receiver.

  • TH-2 Hydrophone | Sonotronics

    MODEL TH-2 TOWED OMNIDIRECTIONAL HYDROPHONE 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. Sensitivity: -100 dBV ref 1 uBar (-200 dBV ref 1 uPascal) Beam Width: Omni-directional +/- 2 dB. Output: BNC connector. Cable: 50’ RG316/U. Links: TH-2 Manual VIDEOS

    Sonotronics Image Gallery This is how Sonotronics and Our Customers Are Making a Difference in the World we Share… Sonotronics Image Gallery This is how Sonotronics and Our Customers Are Making a Difference in the World we Share… “Marlin, Thank you for your extraordinary effort in helping us overcome deployment and technological challenges we face in Grand Canyon. Our sonic telemetry project to determine the impact of the March 2008 High Flow Event on rainbow trout movement in Lees Ferry was a success because of your and your staff’s determination. We were able to deploy 90 transmitters in rainbow trout, the smallest of which was 157mm. We detected these tags before and after the flow with manual tracking and by using the submersible ultrasonic receivers. Interestingly, tagged trout did not displace downstream during the high flow. Thank you for your good humor and determination through this challenging project!” — Kara D Hilwig “Just wanted to drop an email to say thanks for all your help with our order! We’re really happy with the tags we received and have just begun our deployments. Thanks again! — Clemency” “… Furthermore I would like to inform you of an AWESOME recent finding. One of the 260cm female lemon sharks that was equipped with a Sonotronics 4 year transmitter was detected on our SUR array in Bimini for multiple days at the end of May this year. This shark was tagged in Bimini on May 19th 2007 and has not been detected since then. This shark was therefore at liberty for 2 years and the transmitter was still working on her return to Bimini – MASSIVE THANK YOU to you and all your team.” — Tristan Guttridge, PhD Student, University of Leeds, UK From another happy Sonotronics Customer – “Thank you for taking my call. I always appreciate how well I am treated by the team at Sonotronics and I look forward to doing more good work with you in the amazing years to come!” “Just received the USR-96 receiver … Looks to be working perfectly… just one more reason why your customer service is top-notch.” “We are honored. #customer service ALWAYS a pleasure”. – Dr. Yannis Papastamatiou, @Dr_Yannis The following information has been submitted by researchers who have used Sonotronics’ products in their studies. We wish to thank the researchers who have contributed, adding to the knowledge base available to Sonotronics’ customers.
