Detection data were obtained from an array of underwater dataloggers/receivers deployed across the study area which recorded transmissions from tagged fish. Data include identifying information for each fish tag/transmitter, species tagged, timestamp of detection, and positional information for the receiver that detected the tag. This dataset was collected to document movement patterns of fish before, during, and after culvert installation at a mangrove restoration site in southwest Florida USA. The goal was to provide water district managers with data on the effects of culvert installation.

Fish were live captured in Fruit Farm Creek, surgically implanted with Innovasea acoustic transmitters (Model V8-4L), and released at their capture site. Dataloggers recorded the time when tagged fish were within a radius of ~75 m provided that a clear line of sight through the water was maintained (i.e., no bends in the creek). Raw detection data were exported from proprietary Innovasea VUE software into a tabular .csv format. Detections from transmitters not owned by NCCOS were removed. Drift of timestamps was corrected using the internal clock of the download computer. Other data loggers may exist regionally but are not documented here.

The dataset provided here has been time corrected for possible drift in the internal clock of the receiver. The “T” is included to prevent Excel from reformatting the date times. Parameter or Variable: TRANSMITTER (measured); Units: text; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: Innovasea acoustic VR2W receiver; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Acoustic tags implanted in study animals transmit a unique series of pulses that is recorded and decoded by the receivers as the TRANSMITTER number if the transmitter is within range. The receivers are periodically downloaded to retrieve these data records. Parameter or Variable: Latitude and longitude coordinates of the dataloggers (measured); Units: Decimal Degrees (DD.DDDDD); Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: Handheld GPS; Sampling and Analyzing Method: When a receiver is deployed at a station, GPS coordinates are recorded in the field using a handheld GPS unit. These coordinates are assigned to every acoustic tag detection logged by the receiver at that station. While the precise location of a tagged animal is not known, the known location of the receiver detecting that animal gives a rough approximation of the animal’s location within ~75 meters (the detection range of the receivers). asNeeded Metadata are developed, maintained and distributed by NCEI.
