GLATOS

WELCOME TO GLATOS

With a heavy heart and great sadness, we say goodbye to Chris Vandergoot, Director of GLATOS who died unexpectedly on Sept. 22, 2024. He was especially known for his infectious enthusiasm for acoustic telemetry projects and for faith, family and friends.

Scientists have been implanting Great Lakes fish with transmitters and, like the GPS on a car, have been tracking fish movement through a network of receivers placed at the bottom of the lakes.

GLATOS is a network of researchers who work collaboratively using acoustic telemetry to:

Understand fish behavior in relation to Great Lakes ecology, and
Provide information useful to fish managers in their decision making
