  • Fish Telemetry in African inland waters and its use in management: a review
    Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2021
    Co-Authors: Matthew J. Burnett, Gordon C. O’brien, Francois J. Jacobs, Graham Jewitt, Colleen T. Downs
    Abstract:

    Fish Telemetry is a widely established technique in developed countries. However, in underdeveloped regions, its use is generally lacking. We briefly present common fish Telemetry methods used globally and then reviewed their use in African inland freshwater ecosystems. We highlight Telemetry studies' progress in African inland waters and evaluate its potential applications in various fields. These include the management of water resources, ecosystem response to changes, fish movement, river connectivity, conservation of species, management of fisheries, fish passages efficiency and monitoring freshwater ecosystems in Africa. We found 53 studies that used fish Telemetry in inland African waters across eight countries. Radio Telemetry (81%) was favoured over acoustic Telemetry (11%), while the remaining studies included reviews and procedural tagging studies. Telemetry was used on 25 native fish species and two non-native species in Africa across various families and included two African native fishes studied in European laboratories. In Africa, the two most studied genera were Hydrocynus spp. (n = 19) and the Labeobarbus spp. (n = 19). Compared with developed countries, the paucity of African freshwater Telemetry studies is of concern, especially as fish movement is important for water resource management decisions across Africa. Finally, we highlight the benefits derived from Telemetry studies as outweighing the costs and can continue to provide evidence-based data to manage Africa’s water resources.

  • Conducting and interpreting fish Telemetry studies: considerations for researchers and resource managers
    Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2019
    Co-Authors: Jacob W. Brownscombe, Elodie J. I. Lédée, Daniel P. Struthers, Vivian M. Nguyen, Lee F G Gutowsky, Michael J. W. Stokesbury, Nathan Young, Christopher M Holbrook, Graham D. Raby, Travis O. Brenden
    Abstract:

    Telemetry is an increasingly common tool for studying the ecology of wild fish, with great potential to provide valuable information for management and conservation. For researchers to conduct a robust Telemetry study, many essential considerations exist related to selecting the appropriate tag type, fish capture and tagging methods, tracking protocol, data processing and analyses, and interpretation of findings. For Telemetry-derived knowledge to be relevant to managers and policy makers, the research approach must consider management information needs for decision-making, while end users require an understanding of Telemetry technology (capabilities and limitations), its application to fisheries research and monitoring (study design), and proper interpretation of results and conclusions (considering the potential for biases and proper recognition of associated uncertainties). To help bridge this gap, we provide a set of considerations and a checklist for researchers to guide them in conducting reliable and management-relevant Telemetry studies, and for managers to evaluate the reliability and relevance of Telemetry studies so as to better integrate findings into management plans. These considerations include implicit assumptions, technical limitations, ethical and biological realities, analytical merits, and the relevance of study findings to decision-making processes.

  • Use and Outcomes of Telemetry Monitoring on a Medicine Service
    Archives of internal medicine, 2012
    Co-Authors: Nader Najafi, Andrew D. Auerbach
    Abstract:

    Telemetry is a powerful tool for real-time monitoring of a patient’s heart rhythm and QRS pattern. Beds with Telemetry monitoring are limited and expensive in most institutions; therefore, the use of this resource would ideally be evidence based.1 American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines provide class I, II, and III indications for the use of Telemetry, but the focus is almost exclusively on cardiac diagnoses, such as admissions for rule-out acute coronary syndrome or heart block.2 However, there are far fewer data that describe criteria for the use of Telemetry in a general medical population. 3 In the largest study of Telemetry to date, only 121 of 2240 patients (5%) who underwent Telemetry were admitted with noncardiac diagnoses.4 Weperformed a study to better characterize the reasons why patients on a medicine service are placed on Telemetry monitoring as well as the frequency of clinically significant Telemetry events.
