Pop-up satellite archival tag (PSAT) temporal data resolution affects interpretations of spawning behaviour of a commercially important teleost

Table 1 Identifications, deployment dates and times, dates and times when the tags reached the surface (‘Pop-up date/time’) for the six PSATs that were physically recovered following deployment on Atlantic halibut

Also listed are the total numbers of ‘archived’ data (2-min resolution) and ‘transmitted’ data (30- or 60-min resolution) between the identified dates and times
^aIndicates a minimum deployment time, as there were no data recovered that registered surface depths on the deployment date. PSAT 131932 was recovered in the halibut fishery, attached to the halibut
