Queensland IMOS acoustic telemetry array

This sub-facility of the Integrated Marine Observing System Animal Tracking Facility (IMOS ATF) provides infrastructure to understand the distribution and movement of key focal marine species along the coast of Queensland. Deployment of a network of acoustic receivers in conjunction with the DAF Queensland Shark Control Program and collaborator installations provides a tracking platform that spans Queensland inshore coastal and reef environments. This infrastructure enhances existing arrays managed by other research groups to provide better coverage throughout Queensland. This new infrastructure was funded by the Department of Environment and Science, Queensland, and operated by AIMS as an IMOS project (Dec 2019-June 2023), with continuation of the array beneficial to record movements of animals fitted with 10-year tags.Acoustic receivers were deployed primarily in coastal locations with >20 collaborator groups on existing/accessible infrastructure for maintenance. Of the 327 receivers total in Queensland, AIMS and direct collaborators maintain 134 receivers (as at June 2022, current locations indicated in yellow), spanning 16.7 degress of latitude from the far northern Great Barrier Reef to Qld/NSW border. Detections are recorded from animals tagged along Australia's east coast, and 812 animals were tagged between 2019-2023, comprising 511 from priority species (conservation concern, bather concern, and fishery importance) and 301 additional species, adding value to the project.Management of this acoustic receiver array is in conjunction with several IMOS installations (Capricorn-Bunker reefs, Stradbroke Island, in New South Wales, and nationally), and other groups (JCU, DAF, DES, UQ, Biopixel Oceans Foundation, USC, Griffith University), and data from the Queensland installation is integrated into the IMOS ATF national database, Animal Tracking (aodn.org.au). Data recorded by receivers help define the extent and timing of movement of tagged individuals of a range of management-relevant species along the east coast of Queensland. This includes enabling estimates of home ranges, dispersal distance, residency times, and migration pathways. These data can be integrated across species and with data from beyond Queensland (i.e. movements into New South Wales), to improve our understanding of space use and distribution of key species.

本设施为综合海洋观测系统动物追踪设施（Integrated Marine Observing System Animal Tracking Facility，IMOS ATF）的下属子设施，旨在助力解析昆士兰州沿岸重点目标海洋物种的分布特征与移动规律。
研究团队结合昆士兰州农业与渔业部（Department of Agriculture and Fisheries，DAF）鲨鱼管控项目及合作方布设的接收设备，搭建了覆盖昆士兰州近岸海域与礁区的声学追踪网络平台。该设施可补强其他研究团队已管理的声学接收阵列，进一步优化昆士兰州全域的监测覆盖范围。
本新型设施由昆士兰州环境与科学部（Department of Environment and Science，DES）资助，以IMOS项目的名义由澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（Australian Institute of Marine Science，AIMS）负责运营（2019年12月—2023年6月）；若持续维护该接收阵列，将有助于记录搭载10年期声学标记的海洋生物的移动轨迹。
声学接收设备主要布设在沿岸区域，现有20余家合作团队依托可便捷访问的既有设施开展设备维护工作。截至2022年6月，昆士兰州全域共布设327台声学接收设备，其中澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（AIMS）及其直接合作方负责维护134台（当前布设位置以黄色标记），监测范围覆盖从最北部的大堡礁至昆士兰州与新南威尔士州边界的16.7个纬度跨度。
本网络可记录澳大利亚东海岸标记个体的检测数据；2019—2023年间，研究团队共标记了812只海洋生物，其中511只为优先关注物种（包括受保护物种、泳客安全相关物种及渔业重要物种），另有301种其他物种，进一步提升了本项目的研究价值。
本声学接收阵列的管理工作将联合多个IMOS设施（包括摩羯座-邦克尔礁群、斯特拉布罗克岛及新南威尔士州内的国家级设施），并与多家合作机构开展协作，包括詹姆斯·库克大学（James Cook University，JCU）、昆士兰州农业与渔业部（DAF）、昆士兰州环境与科学部（DES）、昆士兰大学（University of Queensland，UQ）、生物像素海洋基金会（Biopixel Oceans Foundation）、阳光海岸大学（University of the Sunshine Coast，USC）及格里菲斯大学（Griffith University）；昆士兰州布设的监测数据将整合至IMOS ATF国家数据库Animal Tracking（aodn.org.au）。
接收设备记录的数据可用于明确昆士兰州东海岸一系列管理相关物种的标记个体的移动范围与时间节点，具体包括估算物种的活动家域、扩散距离、停留时长及迁徙路径。上述数据可跨物种整合，并与昆士兰州以外的监测数据（如进入新南威尔士州的生物移动数据）相结合，进一步加深我们对重点物种空间利用模式与分布特征的认知。
