Marine Environmental Data & Information Network
The Cefas Data Portal contains metadata records and data sets available to download and connect to in support of our commitment to open science. Data is available in the following formats: Binary download, CSV, ESRI Shapefile. The data can also be accessed via the WFS and WMS protocols.
The data is derived from the deployment of mark-recapture and electronic tags on starry smooth-hound (*Mustelus asterias*) in the North Sea and English Channel. Tags were deployed throughout the time period 2004 to 2018. The dataset includes 36 individual *M. asterias*, 18 of which were tagged with mark-recapture tags only, and 18 were tagging with both mark-recapture and electronic tags. Six electronically tagged *M. asterias* were geolocated and their estimated daily geographical locations (latitude and longitude) are provided. Depth and temperature data from these six *M. asterias *are also provided.
