Riverine Acoustic Fish Telemetry Network

A centralized database for fish acoustic telemetry data throughout the Mississippi River Basin and associated tributaries.

Our Mission

We aim to support collaborative efforts in studying fish communities by providing web-based products that assist in data sharing, use, visualization, and analysis.

About the Data

RAFT houses and manages receiver, acoustic transmitter, and detection data from a variety of projects throughout the Mississippi River Basin area. Our recent partnership with the Ocean Tracking Network (OTN) has also broadened our scope, but as a result, we require all submitted data to be compatible with their metadata templates. For further explanation and information on the data within RAFT, click the “Learn More” button below, or visit our Data Management page.
