Description
Summary:This data is derived from the deployment of archival data storage tags (DST) on Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and European plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) in the North Sea and English Channel. Tags were deployed throughout the time period 1996 – 2010. The dataset includes 107 individual fish each with its own bivariate time series of horizontal (m day-1) and vertical movements (m day-1). Daily geolocation estimates (latitude and longitude) are also provided. The length of each time series varies substantially from a minimum of 40 days to a maximum of 399 days. A description of tag type, fish capture, tag attachment and tag accuracy can be found in Righton et al. (2010) for Atlantic cod and in Hunter et al. (2004) for European plaice. Righton et al.
