     Biotelemetry Techniques for Aquatic Systems
     Course # FIS 2116


     DATE:      March 16-19, 1998

     LOCATION:  National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown,
     West Virginia

     TUITION:   $500 (USFWS personnel no tuition charge)

     CEU's:     3

     COURSE DESCRIPTION:

     Topics include biotelemetry study design and data analysis, telemetry
     methods, telemetry system components (transmitters, batteries,
     receivers, antennas), theory for electronic signal transmission in
     water (electric circuit and field theory, radio propagation through
     water, interference), and frequency authorizations.  Classroom
     activities include problems to determine radio propagation distance
     and battery life and group exercises to develop study designs.  Field
     and laboratory exercises are used to demonstrate principles of
     equipment operation, system component compatibility, installation,
     testing, receiver sensitivities, transmitter power capacity, and
     transmitter attachment techniques.
