Availability: Unrestricted after moratorium period
Data are initially restricted, but the access condition relaxes to academic or unrestricted once a specified period of time after an event (such as collection, publication, completion of QC procedures or project cessation) has elapsed

Description
A vemco VPS array of 40 receivers was deployed to monitor fish movements in a 5 square kilometre area out with a harbour development. Sound monitoring of dredging occurring in the vicinity will be compared to fish behaviour to determine if there is an effect. Fish were tagged with depth and temperature sensor tags also.
