This ReadMe file describes the Data file accompanying the above publication. The dataset contains: 
1. Tab 1 "Passage". Contains the data relating to route passage during trials. Sheet includes infomation on EelID, HEFStrength (0, 0.53, 0.77, 1.22, 2.17 and 3.74 V/cm), Frequency (0, 2, 10 Hz), Pass(L: LEF Route or H: HEF Route)
2. Tab 2 "Distance". Contains the data relating to distance of initial response during the trials. Sheet includes infomation on EelID, Route (L/H), High Electric Field (HEF) Strength (V/cm), Frequency (Hz), Distance of Initial Response (cm)
3. Tab 3 "Avoidance". Contains the data relating to avoidance behaviour during the trials. Sheet includes infomation on EelID, Day, Route (L/H), High Electric Field (HEF) Strength (V/cm), Frequency (Hz), Behaviours: Any, Acceleration, Switching, Retraction, Rejection and No Change. 
4. Tab 4 "EnviroVariables". Contains the data relating to the environmental variables measured during the trials. Sheet includes infomation on Sump Temperature (°C), Upstream, Array and Downstream Water Depth (cm) and Velocity (m/s), eel mass (g) and length (cm), flume temperature(°C) and water conductivity (μS). 
5. Tab 5 "Electric Field". Contains the data relating to the electric field measured. Sheet includes the five treatment pulser outputs (V) with the electric field strength (V/cm) measured at the x and y coordinates in both the HEF and LEF.
