Laboratory measurements of captive mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) satellite tag data and videos from the time of spawning

This dataset is derived from pop-up satellite archival tag (PSAT) data from captive tagged adult control mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus). Data included here are tag orientation files for one tagged male and one tagged female mahi-mahi kept in a 30,000 L tank at the University of Miami Experimental Hatchery from May 26-June 15, 2016. This dataset also includes feeding and spawning times, notes on behavior and swimming, notes on tag attachment, mahi-mahi weight, fork length, sex, and tag number. Additionally, video files from the time of spawning are included from two cameras positioned above the tank. Orientation files contain information on tag position relative to fish body position, i.e., the number of times the tag was upright or knocked down summed over a two-hour period. Tag position, upright or knocked down, was used as a summary statistic of acceleration to examine relationships between acceleration (tag position) and spawning and feeding.
