Abstract

This dataset contains the most probable track estimates for 25 individual basking sharks tagged with pop-up satellite archival transmitting (PSAT) tags in the North Atlantic Ocean in 2004-2011. Platform terminal transmission (PTT) numbers are used as individual identification numbers throughout the dataset.
