Description
Summary:These data are derived from the deployment of a single data storage tag on an Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the English Channel. The cod was tagged in the Southern North Sea on 25/03/2005 and was recaptured in the Eastern English Channel on the 09/01/2006. The cod migrates down through the English Channel, resides in the Celtic Sea and then returns. The dataset contains 291 days of information. Each day consists of 144 vertical movement rates (in metres), one horizontal movement rate (in kilometres) and one turning angle (in radians, from -pi to pi). Vertical movement rates have been log (natural log) transformed. A description of tag type, fish capture, tag attachment and tag accuracy can be found in Righton et al. (2010). Righton et al. (2010) is published in Marine Ecology Progress Series and is freely available here http://www.int-res.com/articles/feature/m420p001.pdf. The data storage tag was pre-programmed to record depth (m) at 10-minute intervals for the duration of deployment. Vertical movement ...
