This site hosts a
combination of live streaming and archived video, fish
movement (PIT and radio telemetry) and water temperature data from various BRAVO
nodes. Node 1 is located on the Grand River near
Kitchener, Ontario, Canada and streams live underwater video
from cameras in the river bed along with temperature and
telemetry data from radio-tagged fish. Node 2 is
self cleaning and is located inside a Denil fishway approximately 5 km
upstream from Node 1 and is equipped with an online PIT
tag detection system at the fishway entrance and exit. Node 2b streams
thermal data from our fish
hatchery on the Grand River, Ontario. Node 3 is in Lake Opinicon, Ontario, Canada at the Queens University
Biological Station. Node 4 and Node 5, previously
located in Cooney Creek, Montana,
USA have completed their scheduled data collection.
Node 6 and Node 7 are located in the Jefferson fishway
in the Rock River, Wisconsin, USA.
Node 8 is monitoring a tropical marine reef aquarium in
Ontario, Canada. Node 9 was our first self-cleaning
prototype and was deployed in the Grand
River near Doon, Ontario.
Node 10 has been deployed at the Thornbury Fishway in
Beaver River, Ontario and has high-level image analysis
that allows counting and identification of migratory
fishes. Node 11 is in the Denny's dam
fishway on the Saugeen River near Southampton, Ontario.
As with node 10, node 11 has been designed to broadcast
live data as well as count and identify fish.
The
video collected automatically by the BRAVO system is particularly
useful for long-term research objectives related to
inter-annual variation in
fishway counts, fish migration patterns,
migration timing, habitat utilization and
reproductive behavior. The system has also been
proven to be useful for monitoring and observing
behavior of benthic organisms
such as mussels,
crayfish,
diving ducks,
turtles,
various
spawning behaviour and
wide range of fish
and aquatic mammals such as
otters.
