Dataset and supplementary files - Behavioral response of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) to pulsed direct current electric fields and resulting optimal waveform for use at electrified bar racks

Behavior Library.zip: For each species and behavior observed during the experiments an exemplary video is provided. data.csv: All data necessary to reevaluate the conducted experiments. The dataset consists of Experiment ID waveform - indicating the set of electrical parameters used fish species and fish id behavior - observed behavior time from and time to - time in s after the start of the experiment that a behavior was started and ended respectively type - point or interval referring to whether a behavior is considered instantaneous or continuous voltage - applied voltage at the start of the given behavior experiment_timestamp - date and time of the start of the experiment breathing rate start - breathing rate at the start of the experiment water conductivity - water conductivity at a reference temperature of 25°C [muS/cm] water temperature [°C] breathing rate end - breathing rate at the end of the experiment meta behavior - assigned category of meta behavior based on the observe behavior category standard length, total length and height - standard length, total length and height of the tested fish in [mm] volume - calculated fish volume based on the measured length and height and an assumed elliptical form of the fish Fangdatum - Date of catch t.Pulse - pulse length of the tested waveform [ms] Frequency - Frequency of the tested waveform N.Pulses.Group - Number of pulses per group of pulses for the waveform pattern t.Gap - time between two pulses within a group of pulses [ms] DutyCycle - Percentage of time current is flowing for a given waveform. Calculated based on the waveform parameters usage - first, second or third time a fish was used in the experiments. field strength - field strength at the time of this behavior calculated based on the applied voltage c_w ambient water conductivity [muS/cm] p_d - power density calculated based on the field strength and the ambient water conductivity p_t - power transferred to the fish calculated based on the field strength, the ambient water conductivity and an assumed conductivity of the fish of 115 muS/cm Ranking.xlsx: Ranking of pulse pattern according to the criteria specified in section Engineering Application.
