A system, apparatus, and method for determining positions of underwater animals involves emplacement of an acoustic transponder on the animal and establishing communications with a transponder carried by a vessel whose position can be determined by receiving signals from an external source such as a GPS satellite in order to establish proximity of the animal to the vessel, the position of the vessel then being adopted as the position of the animal. Communications can be established either by communicating the position of the transceiver to the equipment on the animal for storage therein, or by communicating the identity of the animal to the vessel whose position has been determined for association with the position, and subsequent local storage on the vessel and/or communication to a central station.

L'invention concerne un système, un appareil et un procédé qui permettent de localiser des animaux marins. Le procédé consiste à équiper un animal d'une balise acoustique et établir une liaison avec un transpondeur placé à bord d'un bateau et dont la position peut être déterminée grâce à des signaux reçus d'une source extérieure, telle qu'un satellite GPS, qui permettent d'établir la proximité de l'animal au bateau, la position du bateau étant alors adoptée comme position de l'animal. Une liaison peut ensuite être établie soit par transmission de la position de l'émetteur-récepteur à la balise fixée sur l'animal pour y être stockée, soit par communication de l'identité de l'animal au bateau dont la position est déterminée en rapport avec ladite position, puis stockée localement sur le bateau et/ou transmise à un poste central.
