Squid tag movement data and environmental sampling acquired in November 2021 and May 2023 near Faial and Pico Islands, Azores archipelago.

ITAGs were used to measure squid movement dynamics. The sensor package was small (12.5 × 2.6 × 2.7 cm) and was affixed using surgical sutures . Additionally, ITAGs were neutrally buoyant, hydrodynamic, and focal tagged squid exhibited normal swimming and schooling behaviors with other conspecifics. ITAGs contain an inertial measurement unit (IMU) which measures acceleration, magnetic field strength, and angular velocity. These tags were used to measure the swimming behavior or free-ranging animals in the Azores region in November 2021, and May 2023. These data provide movement intensities, behaviors, and allow us to measure the environment including light, temperature, and the animal's depth. Here, we are submitting the tag data from the free-ranging animals in matrix form (.csv).本研究使用ITAGs对鱿鱼的运动动态开展测量。该标签的传感器组件尺寸小巧（12.5 × 2.6 × 2.7 厘米），通过外科缝合线进行固定。此外，ITAGs具备中性浮力与流体动力学适配特性，被标记的鱿鱼可与同类正常开展游泳及集群活动。ITAGs内置惯性测量单元（inertial measurement unit, IMU），可采集加速度、磁场强度与角速度数据。本次研究于2021年11月及2023年5月在亚速尔群岛海域进行，使用该类标签记录野外自由活动个体的游泳行为。本数据集涵盖运动强度、行为模式相关数据，同时可用于分析光照、水温及动物活动深度等环境参数。本次提交的为以矩阵格式（.csv）存储的野外自由活动个体的标签监测数据。
