Summary

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 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.
