Fish ecological field teaching and research laboratory (FÖL) in four lots here: Lot 1 - Supply of a hydroacoustic and radio telemetry system for fish telemetry studies

This tender, originating from Germany, concerns the 'Fischökologisches Feld-Lehr- und Forschungslabor (FÖL)' (Field Laboratory for Fish Ecology Teaching and Research) and is divided into four lots. This specific entry details Lot 1: 'Supply of a hydroacoustic and radio telemetry system for fish telemetry studies'. This procurement is for specialized scientific equipment essential for ecological research and monitoring of fish populations. A hydroacoustic system typically uses sonar technology to detect, track, and quantify fish, providing data on their presence, distribution, and behaviour. Radio telemetry involves tagging fish with transmitters that emit signals, allowing researchers to track their movements and habitat use. Requirements for this lot will be highly technical, specifying the desired features of both the hydroacoustic and telemetry components. This includes aspects like frequency range, beam width, detection range, data logging capabilities, tag types (e.g., size, battery life, transmission frequency), receiver sensitivity, and data analysis software. The system must be suitable for field deployment in various aquatic environments. The contracting authority, likely a research institution or university, will seek a high-quality, reliable, and accurate system that meets the specific needs of their fish ecology research. Bidders must demonstrate expertise in providing advanced aquatic monitoring technology, offer comprehensive technical specifications, training, and after-sales support, including calibration and maintenance services.
