Eastern Pacific Ocean Dolphinfish Project, 2010-2024

Dolphinfish were tagged off the coasts of Baja California and Oaxaca, Mexico, through a collaboration between the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Instituto Politécnico Nacional-Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias Marinas. Wildlife Computers MiniPAT, mrPAT and microPAT tags (n = 153) and conventional Floy tags (n = 162) were deployed on dolphinfish that were at least 61 cm in fork length between 2010 and 2024 in the months of July, August, September and October off the coast of Baja California and in January, February and March off the coast of Oaxaca. Data published here include information for all electronic tags that reported (n = 109), including: (1) the deployment and recovery dates, times, and locations, (2) the transmitted temperature and depth histograms, daily temperature depth profiles, and temperature and depth time series, and (3) estimated locations using the Wildlife Computers GPE3 model. Data are provided in .csv and proprietary Wildlife Computers formats. Deployment metadata for all tagged individuals (n = 315) is available within the 'Ortega-Garcia_ATN_Dolphinfish_Metadata.csv' file. Electronic tag programming specifications are contained in the 'Ortega-Garcia_ATN_ProgrammingTable.csv' file.

本数据集的研究对象为棘鲯鳅（Dolphinfish），由蒙特雷湾水族馆（Monterey Bay Aquarium）与墨西哥国家理工学院跨学科海洋科学中心（Instituto Politécnico Nacional-Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias Marinas）合作，在墨西哥下加利福尼亚州和瓦哈卡州沿岸完成标记工作。研究团队共部署了Wildlife Computers品牌的MiniPAT、mrPAT及microPAT型电子标记标签（共153枚），以及传统Floy锚标（Floy tags，共162枚）。标记对象为叉长不小于61厘米的棘鲯鳅，标记周期为2010年至2024年；其中下加利福尼亚州沿岸的标记作业于每年7、8、9、10月开展，瓦哈卡州沿岸则于每年1、2、3月进行。本次公开的数据涵盖所有成功传回数据的电子标记标签（共109枚）的相关信息，具体包括：(1) 标记与回收的日期、时间及位置信息；(2) 传输得到的温度与深度直方图、每日温深剖面，以及温度和深度时间序列数据；(3) 基于Wildlife Computers GPE3模型估算得到的位置数据。数据以.csv格式及Wildlife Computers专有格式提供。所有被标记个体（共315尾）的标记元数据可在'Ortega-Garcia_ATN_Dolphinfish_Metadata.csv'文件中获取，电子标记的编程规范则收录于'Ortega-Garcia_ATN_ProgrammingTable.csv'文件中。
