Supplemental data from: Nature or nurture: A genetic basis for the behavioral selection of depth in siscowet and lean lake charr (Salvelinus namaycush) ecomorphs

These files contain the raw depth and temperature sensor data from siscowet and lean lake charr (Salvelinus namaycush) ecomorphs tagged with pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs). These fish were produced from wild gametes taken from Lake Superior and reared in a common garden study for nine years and then tagged with PSATs and released in southern Lake Superior. The dataset is supplemental to:
