Summary

This is a tabular data set that contains records of water velocity, depth, temperature and trial information such as start and stop times and date for experimental trials testing the effect of an electric field on the movement patterns and distribution of juvenile sea lamprey moving downstream in an experimental flume. Distribution is recorded for each individual lamprey as presence (1) or absence (0) in a series of downstream collection nets positions laterally across the flume. The data is formatted as comma delimited and contains no special characters. The trails were conducted during December 2 through December 15, 2013 in a 6 meter wide experimental flume at the Conte Anadromous Fish Research Lab in Turners Falls, MA.

Purpose

Data were collected to test the efficacy of a vertically oriented field of pulsed direct current (VEPDC) created by an array of vertical electrodes for guiding downstream moving juvenile Sea Lamprey Petromyzon marinus to a bypass channel in an artificial flume at water velocities of 10–50 cm/sec. Ultimately we intend this data to be useful in the development of a possible non-physical guidance device (pulsed DC electric field) to guide downstream migrating juvenile Sea Lamprey to bypass channels for the purpose of conservation or to traps for the purpose of capture/removal
