Abstract:
This dataset contains high-resolution (0.2 Hz) biologging data collected with pop-up satellite archival tags (Wildlife Computers, miniPAT-348) externally deployed on four basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus) in the Northeast Atlantic for a full year between 2022 and 2024. The data underpin the study: "Wide-ranging, year-round breaching behaviour of basking sharks revealed by long-term biologging". The data include georeferenced occurrence records and associated environmental and behavioural measurements (e.g., water temperature, depth, light intensity, triaxial acceleration). These data support analyses of seasonal and spatial patterns in breaching behaviour.
