JOURNAL: Environmental Pollution 

This ReadMe file describes the Data file accompanying the above publication. For any queries please contact asv104@soton.ac.uk. The dataset contains:
1. Tab 1 "Spatial_lx_data". Contains point measurements of light intensity (lux) throughout the experimental flume area. The y and x columns give the measurement coordinates longitudinally and laterally within the flume. Includes data for when the left or right channel was illuminated for all treatments tested.
2. Tab 2 "LED_normalised_irradiance". The spectral composition of the LED units used to simulate ALAN under the low and high intensity setting, shown as normalised irradiance. 
3. Tab 3 "Eel_trial_data". The raw data recorded during the experimental period. Sheet includes information on trial number, date, time, flume water temperature and eel length and weight.
4. Tab 4 "Eel_results". Results, per trial, for metrics used during data analysis, specifically: 'Initial behavioural response', 'Time to pass' and 'Route selected'
5. Tab 5 "Water_depth_velocity_data". The raw data of water depth and velocity conditions created within the flume during the study.
