Abstract: This study demonstrates how real-time acoustic telemetry data from the FISHTRAC network can detect behavioural changes in fish that serve as early indicators of environmental stress. The paper presents a framework for using fish movement patterns as biological sentinels for water quality and flow regime changes in southern African rivers.
