Environmental Sensors
Monitor important water conditions to provide context for fish behavior.
In-situ environmental monitoring
Monitor a number of water quality parameters with easy-to-deploy wireless sensors capable of both logging and transmitting data.
Integrate with new vessels
Sensors can be integrated into gliders and other autonomous underwater vehicles to get more data – even from hard-to-reach locations.
Real-time data via Fathom Live
When used with a Fathom Live system, real-time environmental data is available at your fingertips through the Fathom dashboard or mobile app.
Instant insight into environmental conditions
Fathom’s dashboard combines current conditions and historical data to help users understand ecological conditions and make real-time decisions.
Combine fish movement and environmental data
When sensors are deployed with acoustic receivers, fish movement data and environmental information are seamlessly collected into a single data stream to help researchers better understand the drivers of animal behavior.

Real-time environmental data at your fingertips
Our wireless aquaMeasure sensors serve as the central nervous system for Realfish Pro, our cloud-based precision aquaculture platform, and aquaEnvironment, our real-time monitoring dashboard. Placed strategically in and around your pens and paired with our aquaHub, the underwater sensors track water temperature and depth along with a host of other environmental indicators, including:
- Dissolved Oxygen
- Salinity
- Blue-Green Algae (Marine or Freshwater)
- Turbidity
- Chlorophyll
- Colored Dissolved Organic Matter
aquaMeasure DO
The aquaMeasure DO measures dissolved oxygen, temperature and tilt in real time and also comes with an optional depth sensor. Low levels of dissolved oxygen can significantly affect behavior and lead to mortality.
Dissolved Oxygen
Optical Based Measurement [0 – 150%]
Temperature
-5°C to 35°C (water must not freeze)
Battery Life
6 – 12 months
Memory
Approximately 1 million records
aquaMeasure SAL
The aquaMeasure SAL measures salinity, temperature and tilt in real time. Different species of fish survive in varying concentrations of salinity by regulating their intake of saltwater. Abrupt changes in salinity can cause high levels of stress, which can lead to mortality.
Salinity
Conductivity Based Measurement [0 – 75 PSU]
Temperature
-5°C to 35°C (water must not freeze)
Battery Life
6 – 12 months
Memory
Approximately 1 million records
aquaMeasure BGA Freshwater and Marine
The aquaMeasure BGA measures blue-green algae, temperature and tilt in real time. BGA is a bacterium that grows in freshwater and marine ecosystems. Negative effects can include low dissolved oxygen and the production of toxins, both of which can lead to high levels of mortality.
BGA Freshwater (Phycocyanin)
Optical Fluorescence Based [0 – 4500 ppb]
BGA Marine (Phycoerythrin)
Optical Fluorescence Based [0 – 700 ppb]
Temperature
-2°C to 35°C
Battery Life
4 – 6 months
Memory
Approximately 1 million records
aquaMeasure TURB
The aquaMeasure TURB measures turbidity, temperature and tilt in real time. Turbidity is usually the result of suspended particles of solid matter that make the water appear cloudy. Increased levels of turbidity raise water temperatures, which can be harmful to biomass and affect fish feeding behavior and welfare.
Turbidity
Optical Back-Scatter Based [0 – 200 NTU]
Temperature
-2° C to 35° C
Battery Life
4 – 6 months
Memory
Approximately 1 million records
aquaMeasure CHLA
The aquaMeasure CHLA measures chlorophyll, temperature and tilt in real time. High levels of chlorophyll indicate the presence of phytoplankton and possible pollutants that can impact macronutrients and biomass levels.
Chlorophyll A-Blue
Optical Fluorescence Based Measurement (0 – 100 µg/l)
Chlorophyll A-Red
Optical Fluorescence Based Measurement (0 – 500 µg/l)
Temperature
-2°C to 35°C
Battery Life
4 – 6 months
Memory
Approximately 1 million records
aquaMeasure CDOM and FDOM
The aquaMeasure CDOM/FDOM measures colored (or chromophoric) dissolved organic matter, fluorescent dissolved organic matter, temperature and tilt in real time. Human activities such as logging, agriculture, effluent discharge and wetland drainage can result in varying levels of CDOM/FDOM that negatively affect the habitat of aquatic animals.
CDOM/FDOM
Optical Fluorescence Based Measurement (0 – 500 ppb)
Temperature
-2°C to 35°C
Battery Life
4 – 6 months
Memory
Approximately 1 million records
