Title

Horizontal and vertical movement data derived from a data storage tag deployed on a single Atlantic cod in the North Sea from 2001 to 2002

Abstract

This data is 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 North Sea on 03/04/2001 and was recaptured in the North Sea on the 06/02/2002. The cod migrates north from the tagging location off Lowestoft, and spends the summer off the north-east coast of the UK, north of the Dogger Bank. The dataset contains 309 days of data, and comprises three files: depth measurements at a 10 minute sampling rate for the full record, depth measurements at a 10 sampling rate for July 2001, and estimates of horizontal position for each day.

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 `Thermal niche of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua: limits, tolerance and optima`_. The data storage tag was pre-programmed to record depth (m) at 10-minute intervals for the duration of deployment, and depth at 10s intervals for the month of July 2001. Horizontal movement rates were calculated in a two-step approach. First, daily geolocations were estimated via a Fokker-Planck-based method that combines a tidal location method and a Bayesian state-space model (see Pedersen et al. 2008 for model details). Pedersen et al. (2008) is published in the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences and is freely available here `http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/pdf/10.1139/F08-144`_. Righton & Mills (2008) previously used this dataset as part of their work to develop geolocation methods. Righton & Mills is available here: `DOI 10.1007/s00227-007-0818-6`_. Neat et al. (2014) previously used this dataset as part of their work into stock structure around the British Isles. The article was published in the Journal of Applied Ecology and is freely available here `https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/1365-2664.12343`_ . .. _`thermal niche of atlantic cod gadus morhua: limits, tolerance and optima`: https://www.int-res.com/abstracts/meps/v420/p1-13/ .. _`http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/pdf/10.1139/f08-144`: http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/pdf/10.1139/F08-144 .. _`doi 10.1007/s00227-007-0818-6`: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00227-007-0818-6 .. _`https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/1365-2664.12343`: https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/1365-2664.12343
