The underwater environment is noisy. Boat traffic, geological activity, and other electronic devices can create interference. Consequently, raw data often contains "false detections"—noise that mimics a tag code. Vemco Vue Software employs sophisticated algorithms to flag these anomalies. It automatically checks for synchronization codes and calculates the probability of a detection being valid. The software highlights questionable data points, allowing the researcher to decide whether to include or exclude them. This step is vital for maintaining the scientific integrity of a study, ensuring that "ghost fish" (false positives) do not skew migration models.
