Abstract

The following dataset includes information from whitespotted eagle rays (Aetobatus narinari) collected in Harrington Sound and Flatts Inlet, Bermuda, for tagging experiments to examine retention and behavior of individual animals fitted with CATS-CAM biologging tags. Rays were spotted visually from a moving vessel and collected via a knotted seine net by encircling the animal and entangling it. Rays were brought aboard for measurements, photographs and tagging (Passive Integrated Transponder and...
