Detection is Only the Beginning
PIT tag monitoring systems collect unplumbed knowledge in fish and wildlife movement. Dive deeper than the detection events to find patterns and insights for informed resource management.
About Our Company
Vagoferus arose out of the growing need to assist biologists utilizing new PIT tag and detection antenna technologies to track the movement of fish, but struggle with the large volume of detection data that is produced.
Vagoferus provides the tools to analyze that data and to extract relevant and valuable patterns about fish movement relative to external events, changes in the seasons, or location hydrology.
Our Services
Data Analytics
Discover the movement activity present within detection histories
Monitoring Design
Leverage antenna array layouts for the most robust data sets
Project Implementation
Implementing a monitoring solution can be daunting, Vagoferus can take it from design through to analysis
Cloud Service
Collected data and produced analytics are centralized in an easily accessible cloud service
Project Variety
The software used to analyze detection data has served a variety of projects from controlled lab environments to natural installations including both confined fish passage analysis and larger riverscape movement for over a dozen species with variable life histories.
Detection events can be combined with any number of associated variables, such as hydrological and environmental data, to provide insights into movement patterns, spawn timing, or refugia choices.

You Know They're Out There...
. . . Now it’s time to find out when they came back, if that fishway is passable, or if that culvert is the final obstacle . . .
