Brief description
In its first decade, the Integrated Marine Observing System's Animal Tracking Facility (formerly known as the Australian Animal Tracking And Monitoring System (AATAMS)) established a permanent array of acoustic receivers around Australia to detect the movements of tagged marine animals in coastal waters. Simultaneously, the Animal Tracking Facility developed a centralised national database (https://animaltracking.aodn.org.au/) to encourage collaborative research across the Australian research community and provide unprecedented opportunities to quantify individual behaviour across a broad range of taxa. This static dataset presents the first 10 years (2007 - 2017) of quality-controlled animal detections collated via the IMOS Australian Animal Acoustic Telemetry Database. The dataset comprises 48.5 million valid detections collected at 1891 receiving stations around Australia, and consists of detection data for 3523 tags deployed on 117 species (fish, sharks, rays, reptiles, and mammals), with distances travelled ranging from a few to thousands of kilometres. To access subsequent additions in a dynamic database, please refer to the following metadata record: https://catalogue-imos.aodn.org.au/geonetwork/srv/api/records/541d4f15-122a-443d-ab4e-2b5feb08d6a0Lineage
