DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA
This dataset contains: Relatively little information exists on the long-term responses and recovery of fish to repeated acosutic exposures.  In a controlled laboratory study, the response and tolerance of Eurasian minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) shoals to tonal signals (150 Hz of 1 s pulse duration) differing only in temporal  characteristics ("continuous", "slow", "intermediate" or "fast" pulse repetition rate) were investigated.  Data was  collected through video tracking groups of fish using Matlab script and can be viewed as an excel file.

Date of data collection: 1-14 April 2017
