Tracking the movements of the Dusky groupers (Epinephelus marginatus) released in summer 2021 within the Sines harbour. 15 hatchery-reared dusky groupers were tagged with acoustic transmitters (V13, V16, HP16) and their movements monitored with automatic receivers (VR2w and VR2Tx - listening at 69kHz) deployed at 6 locations, mainly inside the harbour.
