Description

Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) were tagged with acoustic telemetry tags by GEOMAR in the North of Germany. These data will help identify migration patterns and the extent of their movements in the greater Nort East Atlantic Area. Data gathered will be used to build a Digital Twin prototype of the North Sea.
