Mahi-mahi satellite tagging data collected in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic from 2019-06-13 to 2019-08-26, deployed during R/V F. G. Walton Smith cruise WS19159 (2019-06-08 - 2019-06-23)

This dataset contains mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) satellite tagging data collected during R/V F. G. Walton Smith cruise WS19159 in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico from 2019-04-26 to 2019-08-26 as part of a mission to satellite tag adult control and oil exposed mahi-mahi and characterize the habitat where they were captured. Mahi-mahi were tagged with Wildlife Computers Inc. pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) programmed to collect light, depths, temperature, and acceleration values and then transmitted via the Argos satellite network. All the raw PSATs data for each tagged mahi-mahi are included in the dataset. PSATs data include temperatures, depths, light levels, and acceleration, as well as fish tracks. The R/V F.G. Walton Smith cruise WS19159 was led by chief scientist Lela Schlenker with the objective of tagging mahi-mahi with pop-up satellite archival tags.
