25 Draughtboard sharks (15 females, 9 males) were fitted with acoustic transmitters between January and March 2003. The sharks were sourced from the Crayfish Point Reserve and the east coast of Tasmania (42-43°S, 147-148°E). This dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network via data.gov.au.
Use Cases
- Analyze shark movement behavior based on acoustic transmitter data mentioned in the description
- Study sex-specific movement patterns based on the recorded sex of 24 sharks
- Investigate spatial habitat use based on the specified capture locations in Southern Tasmania
Strengths
- Data collection involved 25 individual sharks, providing a specific sample size
- Sex was recorded for 24 of the 25 sharks (15 females, 9 males)
- Capture locations are specified as Crayfish Point Reserve and the east coast of Tasmania
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the specific 2003 study period
