遥感技术被用来研究鱼类在海洋中的行为和运动已有大约30年的历史。第一批相对简单的设备催生了一套复杂的工具，催生了渔业科学的一个全新领域。最古老的方法，声学遥测，现在已经发展到我们可以研究与周围环境有关的现场详细行为，监测生理变量，以及记录更大规模的运动模式的水平。过去7-8年提供的档案标签提供了一个强大的工具，可以获得大量个体鱼类在很长一段时间内的各种变量的详细信息。它们的主要限制是必须恢复它们才能获得数据。最新的发展是弹出式卫星标签，不需要回收，因此可以用在任何足够大的鱼身上。由于完全独立于渔业，这种类型的标签是研究大型、高度洄游鱼类的理想选择，并极大地扩大了可以解决的问题的范围。毫无疑问，技术发展的步伐将在未来几十年继续加快，产生新的工具，有望解决渔业生物学中许多目前悬而未决的问题。对这些问题的解决应有助于改善对海洋及其生物资源的管理。
Remote sensing technologies have been used to study the behaviour and movements of fish in the sea for about 30 years. The first relatively simple devices have given rise to a suite of sophisticated tools that have spawned a whole new field of fisheries science. The oldest method, acoustic telemetry, has now advanced to the level at which we can study detailed behaviour in the field in relation to the immediate environment, and monitor physiological variables, as well as document larger-scale movement patterns. Archival tags, available for the last 7–8 years, provide a powerful tool to obtain detailed information on a range of variables for large number of individual fish over long periods of time. Their primary limitation is that they must be recovered to obtain the data. The most recent development, the pop-up satellite tag, requires no recovery and can thus be used on any fish of sufficient size. Being fully independent of the fisheries, this type of tag is ideal for studying large, highly migratory fish and dramatically expands the scope of questions that can be addressed. The pace of technical development will undoubtedly continue to accelerate over the next few decades, producing new tools that can be expected to solve many currently unanswered questions in fisheries biology. Solutions to these questions should help to achieve improved management of the seas and their living resources.
