NCCOS Assessment: MPA Boundary Efficacy and Biotic Movements in Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve: Tagging and Tracking Fish with Acoustic Telemetry in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, 2017-04-18 to 2019-06-24 (NCEI Accession 0280248)

This dataset includes raw acoustic telemetry detection data for fish tagged with Vemco/Innovasea acoustic transmitters in Salt River Bay, St. Croix from 2017 through 2019, along with pertinent metadata. Detection data were obtained from an array of underwater acoustic receivers deployed across the study area, which detected and logged transmissions from tagged fish. Each receiver had a detection radius of 50-200 m for tags. Detection data include identifying information for each fish tag, timestamp of detection, and positional information for the receiver that detected the tag.

Note: Data were exported in a tabular .csv format from proprietary Innovasea VUE software. Metadata included only describes those fish tagged for this project and those acoustic receivers deployed for this project. The total dataset includes many unidentified detections, which are either false detections for tags from other studies in the region. There are also a small proportion of detections included in this dataset that are from this project’s tags, but were detected on other non-NOAA projects’ acoustic receivers located outside of Salt River Bay. While there is less metadata included for these outside receivers, their serial numbers and coordinates are still included in this dataset, providing a full picture of this project’s tag movements.
