Filter area measurements from Oikopleura dioica tail beat kinematics and particle tracking experiments conducted in December 2015

These data include tail beat kinematics measurements and particle tracking from the appendicularian Oikopleura dioica during experiments conducted in December 2015 at the Sars Centre for Marine Molecular Biology in Bergen, Norway. The data were collected from high-speed video frames. This dataset includes measurements of filter area. Changes in filter area were used to compare inflation and relaxation of the food concentrating filters by periods of tail beating and tail arrest.
