Example passive acoustic telemetry receiver moorings dataset

A dataset containing a sample of passive acoustic telemetry receiver locations and associated information. Data are arranged by receiver_id (see below).

dat_moorings

Format

A dataframe with 40 observations and 8 variables:

receiver_id

An integer which distinguishes each unique receiver deployment.

receiver

A character which defines each receiver.

sentinel_id

A character which defines each receiver's built-in acoustic transmitter (`sentinel tag'). Some receivers did not have sentinel tags; their sentinel_id is NA.

receiver_start_date

A date which defines the start date of each receiver's deployment.

receiver_end_date

A date which defines the end date of each receiver's deployment.

receiver_long

A number which defines the longitude (decimal degrees) of each receiver.

receiver_lat

A number which defines the latitude (decimal degrees) of each receiver.

receiver_depth

A number which defines the approximate depth of each receiver below the surface (m).
