This ReadMe file describes the Data file accompanying the above publication. The dataset contains:

	Tab 1 "CyprinidWaveform". Contains the data relating to threshold field strengths of responses for cyprinids. Sheet includes infomation on TrialID, Species (C- Common carp, G- grass carp), threshold field strengths for twitch [threstwitch], loss of orientation [thresloss] and tetany [threstet], waveform (1,2,3,4), body length: (total, standard and fork length), mass, water temperature (start, end and holding tank).
	Tab 2 "AnguillidWaveform".   Contains the data relating to threshold field strengths of responses for adult silver-phase eel. Sheet includes infomation on TrialID, Species (E-Eel), threshold field strengths for twitch [threstwitch], loss of orientation [thresloss] and tetany [threstet], waveform (1,2), eel length and mass, water temperature (start, end and holding tank).
