Telemetry data obtained from Fastloc GPS/GSM tracking of 14 harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) captured in Baie des Veys in 2020 and 2021

Tracking data of 14 harbour seals were obtained from the deployment of Fastloc GPS/GSM tags developed by the Sea Mammal Research Unit (UK). Full tag description is available at: http://www.smru.st-andrews.ac.uk/Instrumentation/GPSPhoneTag/. The tags include a wet-dry sensor from which haulout events are recorded, a pressure sensor providing detailed dive data, as well as a Fastloc GPS recording irregular locations when the seal is not underwater. Data is stored onboard and transmitted via the GSM network when the seal is in the reception range. The data provided here are the individual GPS locations of the seals fitted with these tags for an average duration of 102 days.

本数据集涵盖14只港海豹（Harbour Seal）的追踪数据，相关数据由英国海洋哺乳动物研究部（Sea Mammal Research Unit）研发的Fastloc GPS/GSM标签（Fastloc GPS/GSM Tag）部署获取。该标签的完整说明可参见：http://www.smru.st-andrews.ac.uk/Instrumentation/GPSPhoneTag/。该标签集成了干湿传感器、压力传感器与Fastloc GPS模块：其中干湿传感器用于记录港海豹的上岸停歇事件，压力传感器可采集详细的潜水数据，Fastloc GPS模块则会在港海豹未处于水下时，记录其不规则分布的位置点。数据会先存储于标签的板载存储中，当港海豹处于GSM网络信号覆盖范围内时，数据将通过GSM网络进行传输。本次提供的数据为佩戴上述标签的港海豹的个体GPS定位信息，对应追踪时长的平均值为102天。
