We had the chance to add one more species to our acoustic telemetry study array (Ría de Vigo)
The European conger:
Conger conger is a species with a very particular life history and lots of unsolved mysteries regarding its spatial ecology. It will take time, but by using long-term transmitters (over 5 years) we expect to shed some light on its spatial ecology.
Thank you to the team at ECIMAT for inviting us on their boat! This is just the beginning.
