Dolphinfish Regional Vertical Diving Patterns in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, 2010-2020

Dolphinfish were tagged off the coasts of Baja California and Oaxaca, Mexico through a collaboration between Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Instituto Politécnico Nacional-Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias Marinas. Wildlife Computers MiniPAT tags were deployed on dolphinfish that were at least 73 cm in fork length between 2010 and 2020 in the months of July, September and October off the coast of Baja California and in the months of January and February off the coast of Oaxaca. Data published here include information for all tags that reported: (1) the deployment and recovery dates, times, and locations, (2) the transmitted temperature and depth histograms, daily temperature depth profiles, and temperature and depth time series, and (3) estimated locations using Wildlife Computers GPE3 model. Data are provided in .csv and proprietary Wildlife Computers formats.
