An escape theory model for directionally moving prey and an experimental test in juvenile Chinook salmon

This dataset comes from field collections of juvenile salmon, which were used in a behavioral assay. We timed salmon swimming downstream through a mesh enclosure with and without predator cues to observe their change in travel speed via antipredator behavior. Travel speed was recorded when juvenile salmon, embedded with a Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags, passed through PIT antennae. The PIT detections were processed in R to summarize the values for time and speed through enclosure segments (antenna 1 to antenna 2, and antenna 2 to antenna 3). The processed datafile for the behavioral assay are uploaded here. Also, the R files for the analyses for the manuscript.
