This is the OBIS extraction of the Atlantic Cooperative Telemetry and Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) SERC Smooth Dogfish Study, consisting of the release tagging metadata, i.e. the location and date when the tagged animal was released, and summarized detection events of tagged individuals.\n If readers are interested in the source dataset they may also inquire with the project PIs as listed here or on the OTN web site (https://members.oceantrack.org/project?ccode=ACT.SERCSMDOG).\n
Abstract:This study seeks to identify patterns in Smooth Dogfish habitat use along the US Atlantic Coast.

Acoustic receivers arranged in line on the ocean floor as well as attached to buoys, gliders and large animals (e.g. grey seals) pick up the coded acoustic signals from these tags identifying each tagged sea creature that passes within half a kilometer of the receiver. Data collected by these listening stations are subsequently uploaded to one of many compatible data nodes, adding to the reach of an intercompatible network of networks designed and maintained by the Ocean Tracking Network, producing current and reliable records for every part of the globe. Certain classes of electronic tags and listening equipment (receivers) may also be outfitted or co-located with sensors to measure the ocean's temperature, depth, salinity, currents, chemistry, and other properties.","relatedProjects":[],"abstract":"This study seeks to identify patterns in Smooth Dogfish habitat use along the US Atlantic Coast."},"samplingDescription":{"studyExtent":"Program started 2017-07-27 and ran until None","sampling":"Acoustic tags released.","qualityControl":"All species names are verified using the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS).
