Description

GPX log of survey dives from the west coast of Ormoc Bay, Leyte, the Philippines in the municipalities of Albuera (10.91667, 124.69667) and Bay Bay City (11.07611, 124.87528), 2012-2018. GPX is a log of 15-second interval GPS locations during dives.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

The GPS reader was floating on the surface and tethered to the divers. Location should not be considered exact. With currents and wind, the GPS reader could drift a number of meters away from directly overhead the divers.
Data entry was made with Excel or Google sheets, depending on the internet connection.
Data cleaning was performed in R using the tidyverse package.

Data Processing Description

Instruments

tracking tag

Supplied Name: Biomark 601 PIT tag reader

Supplied Description:

Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags help scientists track individual organisms by providing a reliable lifetime 'barcode' for an individual animal. PIT tags are dormant until activated; they therefore do not require any internal source of power throughout their lifespan.To activate the tag, a low-frequency radio signal is emitted by a scanning device that generates a close-range electromagnetic field. The tag then sends a unique alpha-numeric code back to the reader (Keck 1994). Scanners are available as handheld, portable, battery-powered models and as stationary, automated models that are usually used for automated scanning.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: tracking tag

Generic Description:

Devices attached to living organisms with the purpose of determining the location of those organisms as a function of time after tagging and release.
