Popup satellite archival tag (PSAT) time series of skates caught around Heard Island

Time series dataset of depth and activity recorded by miniPAT (Wildlife computers) popup satellite archival tags deployed on Kerguelen sandpaper skates (Bathyraja irrasa, n=24) caught in the Patagonian toothfish longline fishery in Heard Island and McDonald Islands.


Tags were deployed to assess the post-release survival of skates in the fishery.

Statement
MiniPAT tags (Wildlife Computers) were attached to Bathyraja irrasa skates released after capture in the Patagonian toothfish demersal longline fishery in Heard Island. Tags were attached by monofilament through the muscle of the tail and trailed above the skate tail with a 5 cm monofilament tether. The tags were programmed to detach after a 30 day deployment (or 5 days for the first two pilot tags) and float to the surface before transmitting packaged data by satellite. Ten of the tags detached early. Tags transmitted data for a dozen days while floating on the surface until battery died. Some of the time series datasets have a 150 seconds interval while others have a 2 hour interval or daily interval
