Bass Depth and Temperature Tag Data from UK Waters, 2015-2018

Electronic tag data recorded on bass between 2015 and 2018 with releases off the coast of Lowestoft, Liverpool Bay and in the English Channel. Bass were internally tagged with data storage tags logging depth and temperature, which were then used to estimate daily locations. The data is provided by the Marine Environmental Data & Information Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling fish movement patterns based on depth and temperature sensor data.
• Analyzing habitat preferences of bass in UK coastal regions.
• Estimating daily geolocation of individual fish using environmental parameters.
• Studying the behavioral response of bass to seasonal or environmental changes.

Strengths

• Data spans a multi-year period from 2015 to 2018.
• Primary parameters of depth and temperature are explicitly logged.
• Location estimates are derived for individual fish with sufficient data.

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 bias inherent to the three specified UK release locations.
