“…Warner Lake is a small (approximately 8.2 ha surface area) private research lake in eastern Ontario (44°31' N, 76°22' W). In November of 2003, the lake was equipped with a code division multiple access technology (CDMA)-based acoustic telemetry array (Cooke et al 2005a, Hanson et al 2007a. Warner Lake is a closed system, and has been used by researchers to study largemouth bass population dynamics since 1996 using passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags (Biomark) for long-term monitoring.…”

“…The study was conducted in a small freshwater research lake in eastern Ontario, Canada, that is equipped with a whole-lake acoustic telemetry array (Cooke et al 2005a, Hasler et al 2007, Hanson et al 2007a Hanson & Cooke in press). We used these sensitive physiological indicators based on the premise that if the devices or the surgical procedure were causing stress, disease/infection, or reductions in feeding or digestive function over the long term, we would be able to detect a significant difference relative to size-and temporally-matched controls.…”

“…If configured with a minimum of three time-synchronized hydrophones, hyperbolic navigation using time difference in signal arrival can be used to generate highly accurate and precise animal positions [42,70]. To date, there are only a few published examples using such technology in freshwater, which have focused on questions of spatial distribution and variation in temporal activity [26,27,77], but many projects using that approach are now underway, including some that use relatively inexpensive technology to look at simultaneous fine-scale movements of multiple individuals [78]. Passive PIT telemetry arrays (discussed below) have also provided similar benefits.…”

Considerable technical developments over the past half century have enabled widespread application of electronic tags to the study of animals in the wild, including in freshwater environments. We review the constraints associated with freshwater telemetry and biologging and the technical developments relevant to their use. Technical constraints for tracking animals are often influenced by the characteristics of the animals being studied and the environment they inhabit. Collectively, they influence which and how technologies can be used and their relative effectiveness. Although radio telemetry has historically been the most commonly used technology in freshwater, passive integrated transponder (PIT) technology, acoustic telemetry and biologgers are becoming more popular. Most telemetry studies have focused on fish, although an increasing number have focused on other taxa, such as turtles, crustaceans and molluscs. Key technical developments for freshwater systems include: miniaturization of tags for tracking small-size life stages and species, fixed stations and coded tags for tracking large samples of animals over long distances and large temporal scales, inexpensive PIT systems that enable mass tagging to yield population-and community-level relevant sample sizes, incorporation of sensors into electronic tags, validation of tag attachment procedures with a focus on maintaining animal welfare, incorporation of different techniques (for example, genetics, stable isotopes) and peripheral technologies (for example, geographic information systems, hydroacoustics), development of novel analytical techniques, and extensive international collaboration. Innovations are still needed in tag miniaturization, data analysis and visualization, and in tracking animals over larger spatial scales (for example, pelagic areas of lakes) and in challenging environments (for example, large dynamic floodplain systems, under ice). There seems to be a particular need for adapting various global positioning system and satellite tagging approaches to freshwater. Electronic tagging provides a mechanism to collect detailed information from imperilled animals and species that have no direct economic value. Current and future advances will continue to improve our knowledge of the natural history of aquatic animals and ecological processes in freshwater ecosystems while facilitating evidence-based resource management and conservation.

“…Water temperature can also act as a controlling factor of primary productivity (Keller 1989;Regaudie-de-Gioux and Duarte 2012), which influences the abundance of prey fish (Downing et al 1990) and, consequently, the activity of predator fish (Jacobsen et al 2014). Although activity of fish is influenced by many other environmental factors such as light (Cerri 1983;Diehl 1988) and seasonality (Jacobsen et al 2002;Hanson et al 2007), water temperature is thus a useful proxy for a broader ecological gradient, considering that many environmental factors are cross-correlated in the wild. Consequently, many fishes show elevated activity as water temperature increases (Neuman et al 1996;Hanson et al 2007).…”

Consequently, many fishes show elevated activity as water temperature increases (Neuman et al 1996;Hanson et al 2007). However, we do not know whether individuals respond differently from one another to changes in water temperature in the wild, which can only be understood by measuring activity of wild fish experiencing natural fluctuations of water temperature.…”

In contrast to a growing interest in the ecological implications of consistent individual differences in behavior, it is still unclear how consistent those differences are across environmental gradients, especially under ecologically relevant contexts and timescales. We investigated how individual variation in swimming activity of Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) changes in response to natural fluctuations of water temperature as a proxy for an ecological gradient for ectothermic animals. Using an automated acoustic telemetry system, we tracked individual positions of adult perch in a whole natural lake for about 1 year and compared several model frameworks for the individual responses to water temperature. The best-fit model revealed that rising water temperature led to an increase in both between-and within-individual variation in activity, thereby stabilizing behavioral repeatability across temperature. Further, including temporal autocorrelation significantly improved the model performance, suggesting that consistent individual differences in behavior could be partially explained by factors such as slowly changing states in the wild. By using ecologically relevant data, our results revealed complex patterns of behavioral variation in response to an environmental change represented by water temperature.
