305 individual Antarctic krill were tracked using an array of 10 GoPro Hero-8 cameras deployed into swarms during the RV Investigator voyage IN2021_V01. The data, collected between 29 January and 24 March 2021, aim to support krill biomass estimates for updating catch limits in CCAMLR's Division 58.4.2-East. It includes head and tail coordinates for orientation analysis and coordinate tracks extracted from video frames.
Use Cases
- Modeling individual krill movement patterns based on 3D coordinate tracks.
- Estimating krill biomass for fisheries management based on swarm density and behavior observations.
- Studying krill orientation and schooling behavior based on head and tail coordinate data.
- Replicating behavioral analysis methods from referenced scientific literature.
Strengths
- Data includes 3D coordinates for 305 individual krill.
- Collection used an array of 10 cameras to study behavior in natural swarm conditions.
- Data collection followed a specific, referenced scientific method (Burns et al., 2023).
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to the single research voyage.
