Labrus bergylta, Dicentrarchus labrax and Conger conger are common predators of northeast Atlantic coastal ecosystems and are studied here for the first time with ultrasonic telemetry in their natural environment. We demonstrate the viability of using this technology with these species and used movement information to obtain preliminary short-term results on site fidelity, diel activity patterns and home range sizes. Two complementary telemetry methods were used: manual and automatic tracking along a stretch of coast characterized by its high wave exposure (A Coruña, NW Spain). C. conger stayed in the area for the longest periods of time (17 days), occasionally leaving their refuges at dusk or during the night to search for food. Their home range was very small (604 m2). L. bergylta were not detected by the automatic receivers but the size of their home range (between 2874 and 5184 m2), shows that they are highly sedentary with very limited movements. D. labrax left the area for the longest periods (9 days) and were detected during both night and day. Their home range was the largest (up to 26396 m2), evidencing complex spatial behaviour on a large scale. Labrus bergylta, Dicentrarchus labrax y Conger conger son depredadores habituales de los ecosistemas costeros del Noreste Atlántico que en este trabajo se estudian por vez primera mediante telemetría ultrasónica en el medio natural. Se demostró la viabilidad del uso de esta tecnología con estas especies y la información sobre sus movimientos se usó para obtener resultados preliminares a corto plazo acerca de la fidelidad al hábitat, la temporalidad diaria de la actividad y el tamaño del área vital. Se emplearon complementariamente dos métodos de telemetría: seguimiento manual y automático en un tramo de costa caracterizado por su elevado grado de exposición al oleaje (A Coruña, NW Spain). Los C. conger permanecieron en el área durante los períodos más largos (17 días), abandonando periódicamente sus refugios al atardecer o durante las noches para buscar alimento. El tamaño de su área vital fue muy pequeño (604 m2). Los L. bergylta no fueron detectados en los receptores automáticos, pero el tamaño de su área vital (entre 2874 y 5184 m2), evidencia un elevado grado de sedentarismo y movimientos muy limitados. Por el contrario, los D. labrax abandonaron el área durante los intervalos más prolongados (9 días), detectándose igualmente durante el día o la noche. Su área vital fue la de mayor tamaño (hasta 26396 m2), evidenciándose un comportamiento espacial complejo y a gran escala. |

We demonstrate the viability of using this technology with these species and used movement information to obtain preliminary short-term results on site fidelity, diel activity patterns and home range sizes. Two complementary telemetry methods were used: manual and automatic tracking along a stretch of coast characterized by its high wave exposure (A Coruña, NW Spain). C. conger stayed in the area for the longest periods of time (17 days), occasionally leaving their refuges at dusk or during the night to search for food. Their home range was very small (604 m2). L. bergylta were not detected by the automatic receivers but the size of their home range (between 2874 and 5184 m2), shows that they are highly sedentary with very limited movements. D. labrax left the area for the longest periods (9 days) and were detected during both night and day. Their home range was the largest (up to 26396 m2), evidencing complex spatial behaviour on a large scale. Labrus bergylta, Dicentrarchus labrax y Conger conger son depredadores habituales de los ecosistemas costeros del Noreste Atlántico que en este trabajo se estudian por vez primera mediante telemetría ultrasónica en el medio natural. Se demostró la viabilidad del uso de esta tecnología con estas especies y la información sobre sus movimientos se usó para obtener resultados preliminares a corto plazo acerca de la fidelidad al hábitat, la temporalidad diaria de la actividad y el tamaño del área vital. Se emplearon complementariamente dos métodos de telemetría: seguimiento manual y automático en un tramo de costa caracterizado por su elevado grado de exposición al oleaje (A Coruña, NW Spain). Los C. conger permanecieron en el área durante los períodos más largos (17 días), abandonando periódicamente sus refugios al atardecer o durante las noches para buscar alimento. El tamaño de su área vital fue muy pequeño (604 m2). Los L. bergylta no fueron detectados en los receptores automáticos, pero el tamaño de su área vital (entre 2874 y 5184 m2), evidencia un elevado grado de sedentarismo y movimientos muy limitados. Por el contrario, los D. labrax abandonaron el área durante los intervalos más prolongados (9 días), detectándose igualmente durante el día o la noche. Su área vital fue la de mayor tamaño (hasta 26396 m2), evidenciándose un comportamiento espacial complejo y a gran escala.
